Contract Insurance and Bond Requirement Intake
Contract insurance and bond requirement intake is the step of reading bid and contract requirements before pricing or signing, then routing insurance limits, additional insured requests, employee coverage questions, vehicle-use questions, tool exposures, and contract surety bond requirements to the appropriate licensed insurance or surety professional. This prevents discovering coverage or bonding requirements only after the contractor has promised the work.
