FROM: Lucynda Massey, Procurement Manager RE: Clarification of BDA Insurance, Performance Bond, & Indemnification Requirements. In its efforts to protect its assets, BDA requires certain levels of insurance, bonding and indemnification language. These requirements were established in conjunction with our Insurance Broker and Legal Counsel. These requirements are included in all bid proposals and noted at all pre-bid conferences. Although, BDA does not require vendors to document proof of coverage to get on our vendor list, they are required to provide documentation prior to the award or execution of a contract. The ability to meet BDA insurance, performance bond and indemnification requirements are criteria of all bid proposals issued by BDA. BDA requires all subcontractors working on BDA projects to have sufficient coverage as referenced in Attachment I. It is essential that Prime contractors ensure that their subs have the coverage required and can provide documentation in a timely manner. Please note the following insurance and performance bond requirements Attachment I and indemnification language Attachment II. Please contact me at 210-678-3322 if you have any questions or require assistance.
