Insurance

General guidance

This solicitation didn't spell out insurance limits. As a rule of thumb, government service contracts typically expect:

  • General Liability — commonly $1M per occurrence / $2M aggregate
  • Workers' Compensation — statutory limits, once you have employees
  • Automobile Liability — commonly $1M combined single limit

Workers' compensation is generally required by state law once you have employees, and is standard on government contracts. These are general norms, not figures from this solicitation — always confirm the exact limits in the contract before you bid.
