Retention
Going bare-back Retain any loss exposure
that can be controlled when you can absorb the loss.
Those who fail to plan…
…plan to fail.
![Page 13: Risk Management and the CCA Insurance Manual](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813c60550346895da5e638/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

independent contractor Indemnity provisions
![Page 17: Risk Management and the CCA Insurance Manual](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813c60550346895da5e638/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Insurance
Assure contractor’s financial responsibility. Make the contractor buy insurance for agency.
To the rescue! Risky Projects
![Page 18: Risk Management and the CCA Insurance Manual](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813c60550346895da5e638/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Contractual Protection
Assure that vendors stand behind products.
Central to all public contracts.
Contractor controls site, means and methods of work.
Contractor is independent. Contractor is financially
responsible. Contractor must save
public entity harmless.
![Page 19: Risk Management and the CCA Insurance Manual](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813c60550346895da5e638/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Contractual Protection
Allocate the risk of loss to those who are best able to prevent it
![Page 20: Risk Management and the CCA Insurance Manual](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813c60550346895da5e638/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Contractual Indemnity DEFENSE and INDEMNIFICATION. New York law prohibits making another party
hold owner harmless unless, and then limited only to the extent of owner negligence.
Indemnity extends to any claim arising from “the work.”
![Page 21: Risk Management and the CCA Insurance Manual](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813c60550346895da5e638/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Contractual Indemnity
Works in most cases where work being delegated.
Few unpleasant cases of “finger pointing.” We avoid many disputes by requiring
insurance.“To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Contractor shall indemnify and save harmless the State… from … claims… arising from the contractor’s work under this contract…”
![Page 22: Risk Management and the CCA Insurance Manual](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813c60550346895da5e638/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Insurance
Transfer of the financial consequences of a loss exposure to the insurer in exchange for the
payment of a premium.
![Page 23: Risk Management and the CCA Insurance Manual](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813c60550346895da5e638/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Insurance Works Where… There is a pure risk beyond control. Losses of predictable value occur at a
known probability and regularity. Losses can be spread between a large
number of insureds. Everybody won’t have a loss at once.
![Page 24: Risk Management and the CCA Insurance Manual](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813c60550346895da5e638/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Insurance Necessary Where… There is any question about the financial
responsibility of a contractor. There the expertise of professional risk
management and adjustment are required or will add value.

Insurance: The Dark Side
![Page 27: Risk Management and the CCA Insurance Manual](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813c60550346895da5e638/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Insurance: The Dark Side
Adverse selection- only people who need insurance will buy it.
Moral and morale hazards- causing a loss deliberately, or “who cares, we have insurance.”
![Page 28: Risk Management and the CCA Insurance Manual](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813c60550346895da5e638/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Insurance: The Dark Side
It adds cost- about 15% of the cost of the insurance goes to underwriting.
Defending claims is expensive too.
![Page 29: Risk Management and the CCA Insurance Manual](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813c60550346895da5e638/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Insurance Doesn’t Always Pay
![Page 32: Risk Management and the CCA Insurance Manual](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813c60550346895da5e638/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Types of Insurance for Public Entity Contracts
Contractors often have MORE insurance.
Agency requires only what Agency needs.
Agency requires only what is available.
These are the basic types.

Council of Contracting Agencies (CCA)
Created within the Executive Department by Executive Order Number 125 on May 22, 1989 to ensure the systematic collection and timely exchange of information relevant to agency determinations of responsibility and reliability of bidders, contractors1 and proposed subcontractors.
On June 24, 2004 the Council of Contracting Agencies established the Insurance Subcommittee for the purposes of establishing general insurance standards and practices among participating Council Agency members.
![Page 35: Risk Management and the CCA Insurance Manual](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813c60550346895da5e638/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Council of Contracting Agencies
(CCA) Mission StatementProvide a standard for consistent insurance-related language and requirements for use in Agency contract documents. While the standards referenced in the manual have been developed via a collaborative effort involving all of the participating agencies and insurance industry representatives, and the Council believes these standards to best meet the needs of the Agencies operating in the current contract and insurance industry environments, the Council also recognizes that each agency faces its own unique operations and contracting needs. Therefore, it is understood that each Agency may find a need to deviate from the standards presented here as it deems necessary.

How This Manual Is OrganizedChapter 2- Insurance Requirements
Insurance Requirements need to be considered as part of the procurement process.
Remember, this manual addresses only the most common exposures for our organizations.
You will run into situations that are not covered here. Choosing insurance requirements in those cases will
require some assistance from the Insurance Analyst.
![Page 41: Risk Management and the CCA Insurance Manual](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813c60550346895da5e638/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
How This Manual Is OrganizedChapter 3- Model Insurance Specifications
Provides model insurance language.
Including requirements that pertain to all forms of insurance.
This language is not to be used without some thought to the scope of work and applicability.
![Page 42: Risk Management and the CCA Insurance Manual](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813c60550346895da5e638/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
You can cut and paste –
with CAUTION. Consult your Legal Dept and/or risk
manager….this manual is NOT the final word on insurance requirements and limits.
![Page 43: Risk Management and the CCA Insurance Manual](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813c60550346895da5e638/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
How This Manual Is OrganizedChapter 4- Matrices
Provides matrices of insurance limits.
Address common exposures.
Thought should be given to increasing or decreasing these limits as appropriate to the scope of work.
Again, consult your Insurance Analyst as needed.

How This Manual Is OrganizedChapter 5- Model Procedures & Forms
Provides model procedures, sample letters, insurance review checklists, and other information that CCA agencies have found helpful in their operations.
It is best to provide the Contractor with instructions and sample documents as part of the procurement process to minimize errors. However, errors will always exist and the agency should conduct reviews of the insurance documents at appropriate times.
Each agency will have to devise its own process, specific to its needs and operations. The materials here are offered to assist in that process.
![Page 45: Risk Management and the CCA Insurance Manual](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813c60550346895da5e638/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
