6.6.4 Insurance Requirements for Contractors, Vendors, and Service Providers
Before
entering into a contract that includes services (building repair, janitorial,
landscaping/gardening, security, equipment with installation, etc.), a
Certificate of Insurance and an Additional Insured Endorsement must be obtained
from the party performing the work.
For
schools and parishes the Additional Insured Endorsement must be stated as
follows:
"The
Roman Catholic Archbishop of Los Angeles, a corporation sole, Archdiocese of
Los Angeles Education & Welfare Corporation, a non-profit religious corporation,
and (name of parish or school) are named as additional insureds. This insurance
will be regarded as primary and no other insurance shall be considered
contributory or co-insurance."
Other
locations, including St. John's
Seminary, the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels, and Catholic
Charities of Los Angeles Inc., should consult the Office of the Legal Counsel on the appropriate wording
for the Additional Insured Endorsement.
Contractors and
other service providers, including volunteers,
must be appropriately licensed and must provide evidence of General Liability,
Automotive Liability, and Workers' Compensation/Employers Liability. The
archdiocese sets minimum limits depending on the risk exposure of the activity
and the value of the contract. (See, for example, the Carnival/Fiesta Event Agreement in the Carnivals and
Fiestas section and the Outside User Agreement and Outside User Agreement for Blood Drive/Flu Shot Clinic/Health Services/Wellness Programs in the Required
Documents section.)
