G. Alternative Programs/Self-Insurance. Under certain circumstances, the City may accept
risk financing mechanisms such as Risk Retention Groups, Risk Purchasing Groups, off-
shore carriers, captive insurance programs and self-insurance programs as verification of
insurance coverage. These programs are subject to separate approval once the City has
reviewed the relevant audited financial statements and made a determination that the
program provides sufficient coverage to meet the City's requirements.
The City has recently joined SPARTA (Service Providers & Artisans Trade Activities
Program) to accommodate smaller contractors and service providers who have difficulty in
meeting the City's insurance requirements. The SPARTA Program offers a general liability
program that provides the $1 million limit and, upon request, will also provide auto
insurance with the $1 million limit (only in conjunction with the purchase of general liability
Revised 8/24/2007 - 4_
insurance). SPARTA is only available during the time your company is under contract with
the City.
Insurance is provided on a per project basis and is overseen by the Municipality Insurance
Services, Inc. Essex Insurance Company provides coverage and is an A++ rated
company. There is a 24-hour response time and coverage is immediate.
A quote may be obtained by calling 1-800-420-0555 or online at www.2sr)arta.com .
Type of work covered:
A. Personal services contracts;
B. General contractors and their subcontractors (certain specialty trades excluded);
C. Consultants; and
D. Providers of goods.
H. Waiver or Modification of the Insurance Requirements.
Any waiver or modification of the insurance requirements can only be made by the City's
Risk Manager or designee at City's discretion. If you do not believe that the insurance
requirements apply to you (e.g., you do not have employees and therefore are not subject
to the State's workers' compensation insurance requirements; you do not drive an
automobile in connection with the services you provide to the City; professional liability or
errors and omissions liability insurance is not available for the type of services you are
performing, etc.), please submit a written request for waiver or modification of the
insurance requirements and the reasons underlying your request to the Risk Manager. All
requests for a wavier or modification will be reviewed and a final determination rendered
by the Risk Manager.
