The following insurance requirements facilitate the execution of contracts by duly authorized officers of Florida SouthWestern State College. These requirements apply to all contracts entered into by Florida SouthWestern State College with contracting parties that supply goods and/or services such as, but not limited to, for profit, nonprofit, not for profit businesses and organizations, independent consultants, students, student organizations, other academic institutions, including research awards and sub-awards.
The College requires that the insurance policies of all contracting parties be written on a primary basis and be non-contributory with any other insurance coverages. Contracting parties must use insurance companies authorized to do business in the State of Florida and values of coverage are to be in US currency, as shown in the insurance Matrix.
The insurance shall cover the contracting party’s entire operation while under contract with the College and shall be valid throughout the effective period of the contract. The coverages and minimum limits required are the perceived risks associated with the activities of the contracting party, but in no way limits the liability of the contracting party.
To ensure the College has additional insured status on the Contractor or Vendor’s policy, the following statement must be on the COI or an endorsement. “District Board of Trustees, Florida SouthWestern State College, Florida, its trustees, employees, officers, and volunteers are included as additional insured with respect to the required coverages.” The wording and address for the certificate holder should be as follows:
District Board of Trustees, Florida SouthWestern State College, Florida, its trustees, employees, officers, and volunteers Attn: Risk Manager 8099 College Parkway Fort Myers, FL 33919
