D. WORKERS' COMPENSATIO>J INSURANCE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS:

City Council Meeting · 2026-05-12 · agenda_item

This notice concerns new insurance requirements for contractors working with the City of Cocoa. Firms with four or more employees must carry workers' compensation and employer liability insurance at statutory limits. Firms with fewer than four employees must follow exemption rules and maintain employer liability insurance. However, corporate officers, sole proprietors, or partners in the construction industry must secure workers' compensation coverage for commercial building projects valued at $250,000 or more. These requirements are currently under review by the City Council. This agenda item does not describe a specific construction project but rather sets forth insurance mandates that will apply to future city contracts. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers seeking to do business with the City of Cocoa should review these insurance stipulations to ensure compliance. Understanding these requirements early can help businesses prepare necessary documentation and coverage before bidding on or starting city-related work.
