What insurance minimums should I require?
General liability: $2M per occurrence / $4M aggregate. Pollution liability: $1M per occurrence — mandatory for any property with parking garages, sealed concrete, or proximity to a waterway. Workers' compensation: statutory minimum, covering all employees and any subcontractors. Commercial auto: $1M combined single limit. You (PM) listed as additional insured on all policies, with 30-day notice of cancellation required.
Why do I need to require documentation after every job — not just on request?
When a stormwater violation or property damage claim lands, the clock starts immediately. Documentation requested after the fact is both incomplete and suspect — regulators treat "available on request" the same as no documentation. The only documentation that protects a PM is records that were generated at the time of service, stored in a tamper-evident system, and retrievable within 24 hours. The RFP template encodes this requirement into your contract language so there's no ambiguity.
How does SurfaceOps fit into this?
Vendors using SurfaceOps generate a Certified Post-Activity Report automatically after every job — chemical log, GPS records, SDS documentation, and before/after surface photos, all in a single QR-verifiable PDF. When you use this RFP template's scoring rubric, a SurfaceOps vendor scores 30/30 on the compliance section by default. You can verify any PAR at surfaceops.polsia.app/par/sample to see what the documentation looks like.
