Roles & Responsibilities

As with all elements of County contracting, each department and entity has primary responsibility for obtaining and tracking insurance requirements for its contracts.  This includes:

1. Selection and attachment of the correct Insurance Template to the contract;
2. Reviewing the evidence of insurance that is submitted; and
3. Requesting a Risk Management Waiver or Issuing a Department Waiver when needed.

Risk Management can provide support and assistance in the following ways:

1. Assist with selecting the correct Template for a specific contract.
2. Provide customized insurance requirements for unique situations that don’t fit the standard Templates.
3. Help you determine if a particular endorsement satisfies the County’s requirements.
4. Waive a required item.
5. Answer general questions about insurance.
