(a) No contractor’s license shall be issued unless the applicant files a certificate of insurance with the Inspector at the time of the license application. The certificate of insurance shall contain a provision that coverages afforded under the policy will not be cancelled until at least 15 days prior written notice of such cancellation has been given to the township. The certificate of insurance must evidence policies of insurance, maintained at the expense of the applicant, for public liability, property damage, product liability, worker’s compensation and completed operations, each of which must have a single occurrence limit of an amount set forth by the Board of Commissioners in the fee resolution. Blasting and demolition insurance shall also be required for blasting and demolition contractors, and the reasonable limits of such insurance shall be determined by the Inspector or the Engineer at the time of the application, based on the nature and extent of the applicant’s proposed operations.
(b) All types and limits of insurance for which certificates are presented at the time of the application, and upon the basis of which a license is issued, shall be maintained throughout the licensed years, or the license shall be suspended or revoked as set forth in § 1445.11. The Inspector must approve the responsibility of new insurance carriers prior to a change in a carrier during a license year.
