Public Health Department Health Officer 976 Lenzen Avenue, 2nd Floor San José, CA 95126 408.792.5040
Mandatory Directive for Construction Projects (Order issued July 2, 2020) Page 1 of 12
Board of Supervisors: Mike Wasserman, Cindy Chavez, Dave Cortese, Susan Ellenberg, S. Joseph Simitian County Executive: Jeffrey V. Smith
MANDATORY DIRECTIVE FOR CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS
*Please confirm that your facility and/or construction project jobsite may open under the
State Order. Where there is a difference between the local County Order and the State
Order, the more restrictive order must be followed. The State also has specific guidance for
certain facilities that must be followed in addition to this mandatory directive.*
Issued: July 7, 2020
Information on the State’s Order and State guidance is available at covid19.ca.gov.
While the construction industry is critical to ensuring a safe and sufficient supply of residential
and commercial space, construction work can also pose significant risks to public health due to
the COVID-19 pandemic. Because construction projects typically involve many workers
actively working on a jobsite at the same time, often in close proximity to one another or sharing
equipment, businesses and individuals performing and overseeing construction projects must
take extra precautions to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission for workers, visitors, and
others. This Directive applies to all construction projects, but the restrictions vary by the
size of the project, as specified below.
“Construction project” means any work (including a public works project) carried out in
connection with the construction, alteration, conversion, fitting-out, remodel, renovation,
refurbishment, demolition, decommissioning, or dismantling of a building or other structure; the
preparation of a physical site for any such activity; and education or training at which any such
activity is taught through onsite practice or experience. “Construction project” does not include
architectural, design, financial, or administrative work related to a construction project, unless
that work occurs at the construction jobsite. “Construction project” also does not include basic
repair or maintenance work, which means a repair or maintenance job that requires no more than
2 workers and no more than 2 days and that is not architecturally, financially, or administratively
associated with an active construction project.
This Directive explains how construction projects may operate. This Directive is mandatory, and
failure to follow it is a violation of the Health Officer’s Order issued on July 2, 2020 (“Order”).
Construction projects must comply with the Order and all requirements of this Directive.
Mandatory Directive for Construction Projects (Order issued July 2, 2020) Page 2 of 12
The Order Issued July 2
The Order imposes several restrictions on all businesses and activities to ensure that the County
stays as safe as possible, including but not limited to the following:
The Social Distancing Protocol: All businesses must fill out and submit the newest version of
the Social Distancing Protocol to the County using the online form, available here. The Protocol
is submitted under penalty of perjury, meaning that everything written on the form must be
truthful and accurate to the best of the signer’s knowledge, and submitting false information is a
crime. The Protocol must be distributed to all workers, and it must be accessible to all officials
who are enforcing the Order. Businesses are responsible for ensuring that workers understand
and are trained on Protocol requirements in a language that they understand. For any business
that only performs services for dispersed facilities or worksites that the business does not own or
operate, the business must complete a Social Distancing Protocol for its operation as a whole.
For any business that has a facility, but also provides services at dispersed facilities or worksites
that the business does not own or operate, the business must complete a Social Distancing
Protocol for its own facility and provide that Protocol to the owners or operators of any facility
where it operates.
Example: A construction company serves as a subcontractor on various jobsites
throughout the County and also operates a base facility within the County, where it
maintains its vehicles and equipment. The subcontractor must complete a Social
Distancing Protocol for its base facility. It must also distribute the Protocol to the
owners or operators of the jobsites to which it sends its workers. The subcontractor’s
workers must be given a copy of, be trained on, and comply with the measures in both
the subcontractor’s Social Distancing Protocol and the Social Distancing Protocol for
any jobsite at which they are performing work.
• Signage: All businesses must print (1) an updated COVID-19 PREPARED Sign and (2)
a Social Distancing Protocol Visitor Information Sheet, and both must be posted
prominently at all facility entrances. These are available for printing after submission of
the Social Distancing Protocol online.
Businesses do not need to post these documents if they do not have their own facility
or worksite and only perform services for dispersed facilities or worksites that the
business does not own or operate.
• Face Coverings: Everyone at a business facility or worksite must wear a face covering at
all times (except very young children, people for whom face coverings are medically
inadvisable, or for communication by or with people who are hearing impaired). Face
coverings must be worn even while working at a construction project. Workers do
not need to wear face covering if it would create a risk to the person related to their work,
in accordance with local, state, or federal workplace safety guidelines.
Mandatory Directive for Construction Projects (Order issued July 2, 2020) Page 3 of 12
• Density Limitation: All businesses must limit the number of people who may be inside
the facility at the same time. For staff members, the limit is 1 person per 250 gross
square feet of indoor facility space (this means total space, including areas open only to
staff like storage rooms). For members of the public, the limit is 1 person per 150 square
feet of space open to the public. The density requirements tell businesses how many
people (staff or clients) they can let inside the facility before another person leaves.
Children under 12 who are accompanying a parent or guardian do not count against the
limit, but everyone age 12 and over does. This Directive describes a limited exception
to the density limitation applicable only to construction project jobsites.
See the Order and the FAQ page for more details.
In addition to these general requirements applicable to all businesses under the Order,
construction projects must comply with the following directives.
Construction Projects on Own Residence Exempted
This Directive does not apply to construction projects where a person is performing construction
on their current residence alone or solely with members of their own household.
Rules for Single-Worker Construction Projects
This section lists the requirements for construction projects performed by only 1 worker, such as
someone who is working alone on a kitchen remodel project. This section for single-worker
projects does not apply to construction projects that involve multiple workers, even if only 1
worker is at the jobsite at any time; those projects must follow the Rules For All Construction
Projects, which are listed in the next section.
a. If the worker is working for a business, the worker must comply with the Social
Distancing Protocol of that business.
b. The worker must maintain 6 feet of social distance from all other people at all
times, including when entering and leaving the work area or building.
c. The worker must use and properly wear face coverings. In addition, the worker
must wear other personal protective equipment (PPE) appropriate for use in
construction, including gloves, goggles, and/or face shields.
d. To the extent possible, the worker must seal off the work area so that there is a
barrier between the worker and any other people in the building. For example, a
worker performing construction in the hallway of a residence must install a barrier
(such as plastic sheeting) between the area where the worker is working and the
rest of the hallway.
Mandatory Directive for Construction Projects (Order issued July 2, 2020) Page 4 of 12
e. The worker must frequently wash hands with soap and water for at least 20
seconds or use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
f. The worker must not work or come to the jobsite if the worker has a fever, cough,
or any other COVID-19 symptoms.
g. The worker must maintain records of the dates and times the worker was at the
jobsite and must make those records immediately available upon request to any
County official.
h. If the worker tests positive for COVID-19, the worker must notify the County
Public Health Department within 4 hours of learning of the positive result by
following the instructions at www.sccsafeworkplace.org.
Rules for All Construction Projects (Except Single-Worker Construction Projects)
This section lists requirements for all construction projects (other than single-worker
construction projects).
*Note: Large Construction Projects must also follow additional requirements, which are
described beginning on page 9.*
1. Responsibilities of the General Contractor and Subcontractors
a. The business with the responsibility to oversee a construction project, described in
this Directive as the “General Contractor,” must complete and submit a Social
Distancing Protocol specific to the construction project jobsite. (The General
Contractor may also need to submit social distancing protocols for its base facility
or for other jobsites subject to this Directive.)
b. The General Contractor is responsible for ensuring that all work and operations at
the construction jobsite is performed in compliance with the Order, this Directive,
and the jobsite-specific Social Distancing Protocol.
c. The General Contractor must train its workers to comply with the Order, this
Directive, and the jobsite-specific Social Distancing Protocol.
d. Subcontractors do not need to submit their own jobsite-specific Social Distancing
Protocols for the same site, but the General Contractor must not allow any
subcontractor onto the jobsite unless that subcontractor has given the General
Contractor a signed certification that:
i. the subcontractor has reviewed the Order and this Directive and will
comply with them;
Mandatory Directive for Construction Projects (Order issued July 2, 2020) Page 5 of 12
ii. the subcontractor has reviewed the General Contractor’s jobsite-specific
Social Distancing Protocol and trained its workers on that Protocol; and
iii. the subcontractor has completed and submitted its own Social Distancing
Protocol covering its operations, and has provided a copy of that Protocol
to the General Contractor.
2. General Contractors and Subcontractors Must Report COVID-19 Positive Cases
a. Whenever the General Contractor learns that a person who has tested positive for
COVID-19 was at the jobsite within 48 hours of the date they were tested or
within 48 hours of becoming symptomatic, the General Contractor must
immediately implement the jobsite-specific Social Distancing Protocol’s
procedures for when a person tests positive for COVID-19. All positive cases
must be reported by following the instructions at www.sccsafeworkplace.org.
b. All subcontractors must immediately (within 1 hour, regardless of the time of
day) alert the General Contractor as soon as they learn that an employee has tested
positive who is currently at the jobsite, or who was at the jobsite within 48 hours
of the date they were tested or within 48 hours of becoming symptomatic. This
reporting requirement is in addition to the subcontractor’s own reporting
requirements under the Order and the procedures in the subcontractor’s Social
Distancing Protocol.
3. Cleaning After Positive Case Identified
Upon learning of a confirmed positive case at the jobsite within the last 48 hours, any
location where the infected worker was known to have been present must be immediately
closed and sanitized. Work in these locations must cease until sanitization is complete.
4. General Contractor is Responsible for Ensuring the Jobsite is Operated Safely Following
All Legal Requirements
a. The General Contractor must ensure that everyone at the jobsite—including its
own workers, the subcontractors’ workers, and visitors—complies with the Order,
this Directive, the jobsite-specific Social Distancing Protocol, and any other laws
and regulations that apply to the work (for example, OSHA and Cal-OSHA
requirements). If there is a conflict in what different laws require, the strictest
standard applies.
b. The General Contractor’s responsibility for ensuring jobsite compliance under
this paragraph 4 does not, however, relieve any subcontractors of their own
responsibilities under the Order, their Social Distancing Protocol, this Directive,
and all other applicable laws and regulations.
Mandatory Directive for Construction Projects (Order issued July 2, 2020) Page 6 of 12
c. Any worker, or any subcontractor, may file a complaint that the General
Contractor has not complied with the Order, this Directive, or the jobsite-specific
Social Distancing Protocol, or that the General Contractor has failed to require
others to comply. Complaints may be filed through the County Office of Labor
Standards Enforcement Advice Line (866-870-7725) or website
(www.sccfairworkplace.org).
5. Designated COVID-19 Supervisor(s)
a. The General Contractor must designate a site-specific COVID-19 Supervisor or
Supervisors to enforce the jobsite-specific Social Distancing Protocol and this
Directive. The designated COVID-19 Supervisor(s) must be present at the jobsite
at all times during construction activities. The COVID-19 Supervisor may be an
on-site worker who is designated to serve in this role. The General Contractor
must prominently post a sign at all entrances to the jobsite clearly identifying the
COVID-19 Supervisor(s) by name and providing their phone number and email
address.
b. The designated COVID-19 Supervisor(s) must review this Directive and the
jobsite-specific Social Distancing Protocol with all workers and other persons at
the jobsite. The General Contractor is responsible for making sure this occurs.
c. The COVID-19 Supervisor must monitor and ensure implementation at the jobsite
of all requirements in this Directive, the jobsite-specific Social Distancing
Protocol, and the Order.
6. Seal Off Area of Construction Project from Other Parts of Occupied Sites
Where construction work occurs within an occupied residential or commercial building,
all of the following rules apply:
a. Work areas must, to the extent feasible, be sealed off from the remainder of the
building (and from the remainder of the unit, if work is performed within a
residential unit) with physical barriers such as plastic sheeting or closed doors
sealed with tape.
b. If possible, workers must access the work area from entry/exit door(s) different
from the entry/exit door(s) used by residents or occupants accessing the remainder
of the building that is not under construction.
c. Available windows and/or doors must be used to ventilate the work area during
the workday and any other times work is performed.
d. If residents or occupants have access to the work area between workdays, the
Mandatory Directive for Construction Projects (Order issued July 2, 2020) Page 7 of 12
work area must be cleaned and sanitized at the beginning and at the end of
workdays.
e. Every effort must be taken to minimize contact between workers and residents or
occupants, including maintaining a minimum of at least 6 feet of social distancing
at all times.
7. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
The General Contractor must obtain, provide at no cost to workers, and require that all
workers use personal protective equipment (PPE) appropriate for use in construction,
including gloves, goggles, face shields, and face coverings as appropriate for the activity
being performed. Face coverings must be worn in compliance with the State’s mandatory
Guidance for the Use of Face Coverings and any additional directives issued by the
County Health Officer. At no time may medical-grade PPE be used at a construction site
unless it is required due to the medical nature of the jobsite or local, state, or federal
workplace safety requirements.
8. Social Distancing, Sanitizing, and other Measures
a. The General Contractor must:
i. Ensure compliance at the jobsite with the Order’s density limitations
except to the extremely limited extent a higher density is temporarily
necessary to safely carry out a specific job function.
1. The density limitations apply to all indoor areas where
construction work is actively being performed. Density limitations
do not apply to staging areas or lay-down areas that are separate
from the area where construction work is actively being performed.
ii. Stagger shifts, breaks, and trade-specific work as necessary to reduce
density and allow for easy maintenance of minimum 6-foot distancing.
Staggered shifts and breaks must comply with applicable wage and hour
laws.
1. All persons must maintain minimum 6-foot distancing except to
the extremely limited extent shorter distances are temporarily
necessary to safely carry out a specific job function.
iii. Eliminate or resolve “choke points” and “high-risk areas” where workers
are unable to maintain 6-foot social distancing. The General Contractor
must prohibit or limit use of these areas to ensure that 6-foot distance can
easily be maintained between individuals.
Mandatory Directive for Construction Projects (Order issued July 2, 2020) Page 8 of 12
iv. If possible, ensure workers eat their meals and take their breaks outdoors,
and maintain social distancing during meals and breaks.
v. Prohibit gatherings of any size on the jobsite (except for meetings required
by this Directive), including gatherings for breaks or eating. Sharing of
any food or beverage is strictly prohibited.
vi. Cal-OSHA requires employers to provide water. Water must be provided
in single-serve containers.
vii. Prohibit use of microwaves, water coolers, and other similar shared
equipment.
b. Workers must:
i. Unless strictly necessary to carry out a job function, maintain at all times
at least 6-foot social distancing from fellow workers and all site visitors,
including delivery workers, design professionals and other project
consultants, government agency representatives (including building and
fire inspectors), and residents at residential construction sites.
ii. Not carpool to and from the jobsite except with others living within the
same household unit, or if necessary because they have no alternative
means of transportation. If workers from different households must
carpool, they must wear face coverings while riding together in the same
vehicle, sit at the greatest distance possible, and maintain ventilation by
keeping windows open as feasible.
9. Notice for Workers and Visitors of Required Practices
The General Contractor must prominently post a notice at all entrances to the jobsite
visible to all workers and visitors instructing workers and visitors to do the following:
a. Do not touch your face with unwashed hands or with gloves.
b. If equipment is shared, it must be fully sanitized before and after each use.
c. Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds each time, or
use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
d. Clean and disinfect objects and surfaces you touch often, such as work stations,
keyboards, telephones, handrails, machines, shared tools, elevator control buttons,
and doorknobs.
e. Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or cloth when you cough or sneeze, or
Mandatory Directive for Construction Projects (Order issued July 2, 2020) Page 9 of 12
cough or sneeze into your elbow/sleeve – never into your hands.
f. Do not enter the jobsite if you have a fever, cough, or other COVID-19
symptoms. If you feel sick, or have been exposed to anyone who is sick, stay at
home.
g. Constantly make sure you are staying at least 6 feet away from co-workers at all
times, unless it is absolutely necessary to get closer to complete a task for the
construction project.
h. Do not carpool to and from the jobsite with anyone except members of your own
household, or if necessary because you have no alternative means of
transportation. If you carpool with people from another household, you must wear
a face covering while riding together in the same vehicle.
i. Do not share phones or PPE.
Posters conforming to this requirement are available for download at
https://www.sccgov.org/sites/covid19/Pages/learn-what-to-do-flyers.aspx.
10. Cooperate with County’s Case Investigation and Contact Tracing Efforts
The General Contractor must maintain a daily attendance log of all workers and visitors
at the jobsite that includes contact information (including name, phone number, address,
and email) and the date, time, and duration of each person’s presence at the jobsite. If
someone on the jobsite tests positive for COVID-19, the General Contractor is legally
required to assist the County Public Health Department in any case investigation and
contact tracing efforts.
11. Monitor and Inform Supervisors and Subcontractors of Revised Requirements
The General Contractor must regularly check for revisions to the Order, this Directive,
relevant industry-specific guidance published by the California Department of Public
Health, and other relevant rules or guidance. The General Contractor must inform all
jobsite supervisors (including the designated COVID-19 Supervisor(s), all field
supervisors, foremen, and safety directors) and all subcontractors of any revisions or
additions to the requirements for construction projects.
Additional Rules for Large Construction Projects
This section describes additional requirements that apply only to Large Construction Projects.
12. What is a Large Construction Project?
A “Large Construction Project” is a construction project that meets any of the following
Mandatory Directive for Construction Projects (Order issued July 2, 2020) Page 10 of 12
specifications:
a. For residential projects, any single-family, multi-family, senior, student, or other
residential construction project consisting of 10 or more units; or
b. For commercial projects, any construction project consisting of 20,000 or more
square feet of floor area; or
c. For mixed-use construction projects, any construction project that meets either of
the specifications above in Subparagraphs (a) and (b); or

1. New jobsite rules and pre-jobsite travel restrictions for the
prevention of COVID-19 community spread.
2. Review of sanitizing and hygiene procedures.
3. Worker feedback on improving safety and sanitizing.
4. Coordination of construction site daily cleaning/sanitization
requirements.
5. Any newly available information regarding COVID-19.
6. Emergency protocols in the event of an exposure or suspected
exposure to COVID-19.
ii. Each day, verify and record verification that each jobsite is compliant with
this Directive. The General Contractor must collect each written
verification, store them for at least 1 year, and make them immediately
available upon request to any County official.
iii. Conduct the following activities to make sure that the jobsite is ready to
fix any violations of this Directive:
Mandatory Directive for Construction Projects (Order issued July 2, 2020) Page 11 of 12
1. Develop a remediation plan;
2. If any non-compliance is identified, ensure that the remediation
plan is implemented, and post the remediation plan at all entrances
to the jobsite during the remediation period;
3. Stop any construction activity until the jobsite is back in
compliance; and
4. Report repeated non-compliance with this Directive to the
appropriate jobsite supervisors and the permitting agency for the
local government where the project is located.
b. The General Contractor is responsible for making sure the designated COVID-19
Supervisor takes all of these steps.
14. Jobsite Safety Accountability Supervisor (JSAS)
The General Contractor must assign a COVID-19 Third-Party Jobsite Safety
Accountability Supervisor (JSAS) for the jobsite. The JSAS may not be an employee of
the General Contractor. The JSAS must at a minimum hold an OSHA-30 certificate and
first-aid training, or equivalent credentials, from within the past 2 years. The JSAS must
be trained in the requirements in this Directive and the jobsite-specific Social Distancing
Protocol and must verify compliance with those requirements, including by visual

Insurance Requirements for Construction Contracts - $60,000 Version: Sept. 2019
1
Contractor shall procure and maintain for the duration of the contract, and for five years following the completion of
the Project, insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property which may arise from or in
connection with the performance of the work hereunder by Contractor, its agents, representatives, employees or
subcontractors.
MINIMUM SCOPE AND LIMIT OF INSURANCE
Coverage shall be at least as broad as:
1. Commercial General Liability (“CGL”): Insurance Services Office (ISO) Form CG 00 01 covering CGL on an
“occurrence” basis, written on a comprehensive general liability form, and must include coverage for liability
arising from Contractor’s or Subcontractor’s acts or omissions, including Contractor’s protected coverage,
blanket contractual, products and completed operations, vehicle coverage and employer’s non-ownership liability
coverage, with limits of at least $2,000,000 per occurrence. The CGL policy must protect against any and all
liability for personal injury, death, property damage or destruction, and personal and advertising injury. If a general
aggregate limit applies, either the general aggregate limit shall apply separately to this project/location (ISO CG
25 03 or 25 04) or the general aggregate limit shall be twice the required occurrence limit.
a. It shall be a requirement under this agreement that any available insurance proceeds broader than or in excess
of the specified minimum insurance coverage requirements and/or limits shall be made available to the
Additional Insured and shall be (1) the minimum coverage/limits specified in this agreement; or (2) the broader
coverage and maximum limits of coverage of any insurance policy, whichever is greater.
b. Additional Insured coverage under Contractor's policy shall be "primary and non-contributory," will not seek
contribution from City’s insurance/self-insurance, and shall be at least as broad as ISO CG 20 01 04 13
c. The limits of insurance required may be satisfied by a combination of primary and umbrella or excess
insurance, provided each policy complies with the requirements set forth in this Contract. Any umbrella or
excess insurance shall contain or be endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall also apply on a
primary basis for the benefit of City before the City’s own insurance or self-insurance shall be called upon to
protect City as a named insured.
2. Automobile Liability: ISO Form CA 00 01 covering any auto (Code 1), or if Contractor has no owned autos, then
hired autos (Code 8) and non-owned autos (Code 9), with limit no less than $1,000,000 per accident for bodily
injury and property damage.
3. Workers’ Compensation: As required by the State of California, with Statutory Limits, and Employer’s
Liability Insurance of no less than $1,000,000 per accident for bodily injury or disease, or as otherwise required by
statute. If Contractor is self-insured, Contractor must provide a Certificate of Permission to Self-Insure, duly
authorized by the DIR.
N/A if box checked (Contractor provides written verification it has no employees).
4. Professional Liability with limits no less than $1,000,000 per occurrence or claim, and $2,000,000 aggregate.
N/A if box checked (Contract is not design/build).
5. Builder’s Risk. Course of Construction insurance utilizing an “All Risk” (Special Perils) coverage form, with
limits equal to the completed value of the project and no coinsurance penalty provisions.
N/A if box checked (Project does not involve construction or improvements/installations to property).

6. Contractors’ Pollution Legal Liability and/or Asbestos Legal Liability and/or Errors and Omissions with limits
no less than $1,000,000 per occurrence or claim, and $2,000,000 policy aggregate.
N/A if box checked (Project does not involve environmental hazards).
If Contractor maintains broader coverage and/or higher limits than the minimums shown above, City requires and
shall be entitled to the broader coverage and/or higher limits maintained by the contractor. Any available insurance
proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the City.
Self-Insured Retentions. Self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by City. At City’s option, either:
(1) Contractor shall cause the insurer to reduce or eliminate self-insured retentions as respects City, its officers,
officials, employees, and volunteers; or (2) Contractor shall provide a financial guarantee satisfactory to City
guaranteeing payment of losses and related investigations, claim administration, and defense expenses. The policy
language shall provide, or be endorsed to provide, that the self-insured retention may be satisfied by either the named
insured or the City.
OTHER INSURANCE PROVISIONS
The insurance policies are to contain, or be endorsed to contain, the following provisions:
Additional Insured Status
The City of Cupertino, its City Council, officers, officials, employees, agents, servants and volunteers are to be covered
as additional insureds on the CGL and automobile liability policies with respect to liability arising out of the Services
performed by or on behalf of Contractor including materials, parts, or equipment furnished. Endorsement of CGL
coverage shall be at least as broad as ISO Form CG 20 10 11 85 or if not available, through the addition of both CG
20 10, CG 20 26, CG 20 33, or CG 20 38; and CG 20 37 if a later edition is used.
Primary Coverage
For any claims related to this Project, Contractor’s insurance coverage shall be “primary and non-contributory” and
at least as broad as ISO CG 20 01 04 13 with respect to City, its officers, officials, employees and volunteers, and shall
not seek contribution from City’s insurance. If the limits of insurance are satisfied in part by Umbrella/Excess
Insurance, the Umbrella/Excess Insurance shall contain or be endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall
also apply on a “primary and non-contributory” basis for the benefit of City.
Notice of Cancellation
Each insurance policy required shall provide that coverage shall not be canceled, except with notice to the City. Each
certificate of insurance must state that the coverage afforded by the policy is in force and will not be reduced, cancelled
or allowed to expire without at least 30 days advance written notice to City, unless due to non-payment of premiums,
in which case ten days advance written notice must be provided to City. Such notice must be sent to City via certified
mail and addressed to the attention of the City Manager.
Builder’s Risk
Contractor may submit Builder’s Risk insurance in the form of Course of Construction coverage, which shall name
the City as a loss payee, as its interest may appear. The Builder’s Risk policy must be issued on an occurrence basis,
for all-risk coverage on a 100% completed value basis on the insurable portion of the Project, with no coinsurance
penalties, and for the benefit of City. If the Project does not involve new or major reconstruction, City may elect, acting
in its sole discretion, to accept an Installation Floater policy instead of Builder’s Risk. For such projects, the Property
Installation Floater shall include improvement, remodel, modification, alteration, conversion or adjustment to existing
buildings, structures, processes, machinery and equipment, and shall provide property damage coverage for any
building, structure, machinery or equipment damaged, impaired, broken, or destroyed during the performance of the
Work, including during transit, installation, and testing at the City’s site.
Insurance Requirements for Construction Contracts - $60,000 Version: Sept. 2019
3
Waiver of Subrogation
Each required policy must include an endorsement providing that the carrier agrees to waive any right of subrogation
it may have against City. Contractor agrees to waive rights of subrogation which any insurer of Contractor may acquire
from Contractor by virtue of the payment of any loss. Contractor agrees to obtain any endorsement that may be
necessary to affect this waiver of subrogation. The Workers’ Compensation policy shall be endorsed with a waiver of
subrogation in favor of the City for all work performed by the Contractor, its employees, agents and subcontractors.
Acceptability of Insurers
Insurance must be issued by insurers acceptable to City and licensed to do business in the State of California, and each
insurer must have an A.M. Best’s financial strength rating of “A” or better and a financial size rating of “VII” or better.
Verification of Coverage
Contractor shall furnish the City with original certificates and amendatory endorsements, or copies of the applicable
insurance language, effecting coverage required by this contract. All certificates and endorsements are to be received
and approved by the City before work commences. The City reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of
all required insurance policies, including endorsements, required by these specifications, at any time.
Subcontractors
Contractor shall require and verify that all subcontractors maintain insurance meeting all the requirements stated
herein, and Contractor shall ensure that City is an additional insured on insurance required from subcontractors. For
CGL coverage subcontractors shall provide coverage with a form at least as broad as CG 20 38 04 13.
Surety Bonds
As required by Contract and described in the Contract Documents. The Payment and Performance Bonds shall be in a
sum equal to the Contract Price. If the Performance Bond provides for a one-year warranty a separate Maintenance
Bond is not necessary. If the warranty period specified in the Contract is for longer than one year a Maintenance Bond
equal to 10% of the Contract Price is required. Bonds shall be duly executed by a responsible corporate surety,
authorized to issue such bonds in the State of California and secured through an authorized agent with an office in
California.
Special Risks or Circumstances
City reserves the right to modify these requirements, based on the nature of the risk, prior experience, insurer, coverage,
or other circumstances.

WAIVER OF SUBROGATION NOTICE
Enclosed is your copy of a certificate of insurance on which the certificate holder
required a waiver of subrogation:
1. Please be advised that a waiver of subrogation requires that a 3% surcharge
will be applied by State Fund ONLY to the premium assessed on the payroll
of your employees earned while engaged in work for that certificate holder
who requested the waiver. (Note: if you have no employee payroll on that job,
then there is no charge.)
2. To apply the 3% surcharge, you must also agree to maintain accurately
segregated payroll records for employees engaged in work on job/s for the
certificate holder who has the waiver. The payroll records are subject to
verification by an auditor.
Example:
Payroll for job: $5,000.00
Sample Rate: 13.30%
----------
Regular Premium equals: $ 665.00
Surcharge: 3.00%
----------
Additional Waiver charge: $ 19.95
Total premium equals $ 684.95 (665.00 + 19.95)
