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
Texas is the only state where private employers can legally opt out of workers' comp — but government contracts almost always require it anyway. These are general norms, not figures from this solicitation — always confirm the exact limits in the contract before you bid.
Licenses & registrations
- Valid Texas business registration (if applicable)
- HUB certification (encouraged but not required)
