Insurance
This solicitation didn't spell out insurance limits. As a rule of thumb, government construction 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
- Builder's Risk — sometimes required, sized to the contract value
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.
