Sec. 1788.48  Contract insurance requirements.

    Contracts entered into between borrowers and contractors, engineers, 
and architects shall provide that they take out and maintain throughout 
the contract period insurance of the following types and minimum 
amounts:
    (a) Workers' compensation and employers' liability insurance, as 
required by law, covering all their employees who perform any of the 
obligations of the contractor, engineer, and architect under the 
contract. If any employer or employee is not subject to the workers' 
compensation laws of the governing state, then insurance shall be 
obtained voluntarily to extend to the employer and employee coverage to 
the same extent as though the employer or employee were subject to the 
workers' compensation laws.
    (b) Public liability insurance covering all operations under the 
contract shall have limits for bodily injury or death of not less than 
$1 million each occurrence, limits for property damage of not less than 
$1 million each occurrence, and $1 million aggregate for accidents 
during the policy period. A single limit of $1 million of bodily injury 
and property damage is acceptable. This required insurance may be in a 
policy or policies of insurance, primary and excess including the 
umbrella or catastrophe form.
    (c) Automobile liability insurance on all motor vehicles used in 
connection with the contract, whether owned, non-owned, or hired, shall 
have limits for bodily injury or death of not less than $1 million per 
person and $1 million per occurrence, and property damage limits of $1 
million for each occurrence. This required insurance may be in a policy 
or policies of insurance, primary and excess including the umbrella or 
catastrophe form.
    (d) When a borrower contracts for the installation of major 
equipment by other than the supplier or for the moving of major 
equipment from one location to another, the contractor shall furnish the 
borrower with an installation floater policy. The policy shall cover all 
risks of damage to the equipment until completion of the installation 
contract.
