6. WORKERS’ COMPENSATION: Statutory limits which cover all

Regular Board of County Commissioners Meeting · 2026-06-16 · agenda_item

This item concerns requirements for workers' compensation insurance for work performed under a contract with Highlands County. The statutory limits require coverage of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence for general liability and employer's liability. This is a planned requirement, not an active project with immediate construction needs. The county is establishing these insurance standards as part of its contracting process. This means that any contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, or service providers who are awarded work by Highlands County in the future will need to meet these insurance obligations. Businesses that provide services or materials to the county should be aware of these upcoming insurance requirements. Early engagement with the county's procurement or legal departments may provide clarity on how these requirements will be applied to future bids and contracts.
