11. INSURANCE AND INDEMNIFICATION

11.1 Insurance. Unless prohibited by law, the Performing Party shall require its contractors to obtain and maintain during the Contract Period adequate insurance coverage sufficient to protect the Performing Party and the TCEQ from all claims and liability for injury to persons and for damage to property arising from the Contract. Unless specifically waived by the TCEQ, sufficient coverage shall include Workers Compensation and Employer’s Liability Insurance, Commercial Automobile Liability Insurance, and Commercial General Liability Insurance. Before any Performing Party contractor performs any work at a TCEQ facility, Performing Party shall provide TCEQ a Certificate of Insurance for the Contractor’s Workers Compensation and Employer’s Liability Insurance.

This insurance is required for community collection events during the days of the events. Other COGs have found that most cities and counties already have insurance policies covering this, but if they do not and need to add to their policy, then TCEQ can reimburse for the insurance for the days of the events.
