Board of County Commissioners Regular Board Meeting · 2026-04-21 · agenda_item

This item concerns professional liability insurance requirements for a consultant and any subcontractors involved in an agreement with Highlands County. The consultant must maintain Two Million Dollars in professional liability coverage. Subcontractors providing professional services must also carry at least Two Million Dollars in coverage. This coverage must include a three-year tail period after the agreement ends. This requirement is currently under review by the Board of County Commissioners. While no specific construction project is detailed, the need for professional liability insurance suggests that future agreements could involve engineering, architectural, or other professional design services. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers interested in potential future work should consider how these insurance requirements might affect their bids and operations. Reaching out to the county early could provide clarity on upcoming project needs and timelines.
