POLICY AND PROCEDURES
CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION MANUAL
WAIVER OF INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
There will be times when it will be necessary, or in the best interest of the County, to
deviate from the standard insurance requirements specified within this manual.
Recognizing this potential and acting on the advice of the County Attorney, the Board of
County Commissioners has granted authorization to Risk Management to waive and
modify various insurance provisions.
Specifically excluded from this authorization is the right to waive:
• The County as being named as an Additional Insured — If a letter from the
Insurance Company (not the Agent) is presented, stating that they are unable or
unwilling to name the County as an Additional Insured, Risk Management has
not been granted the authority to waive this provision.
And
• The Indemnification and Hold Harmless provisions
Waivinq of insurance provisions could expose the County to economic loss. For this
reason, every attempt should be made to obtain the standard insurance requirements. If
a waiver or a modification is desired, a Request for Waiver of Insurance Requirement
form should be completed and submitted for consideration with the proposal.
After consideration by Risk Management and if approved, the form will be returned, to
the County Attorney who will submit the Waiver with the other contract documents for
execution by the Clerk of the Courts.
Should Risk Management deny this Waiver Request, the other party may file an appeal
with the County Administrator or the Board of County Commissioners, who retains the
final decision-making authority.
