Frequently Asked Questions:
What type of coverage is required for a construction, service and professional contract?
Most contractual agreements that the City enters into are required to carry some type of insurance. The insurance will generally be based on the scope of work and contract value.
Is a payment and performance bond required for all projects?
Payment and performance bonds will be required on all construction contracts above $20,000. Non-construction contracts will also be required to have bonds, but a waiver may be granted on a case-by-case basis.
How do I file a claim for damage sustained to my vehicle?
All inquires related to auto damage should be directed to the City Clerk's Office and/or the Law Department. Risk Management only handles damage received to City vehicles as a result of third party accidents.
