(A) A hauler which collects construction or demolition debris generated in the county shall obtain and maintain a construction/demolition license.
(B) All vehicles used by the hauler for the collection or transportation of construction or demolition waste generated within the county shall be included in the hauler’s mixed municipal waste base license application or the construction/demolition license.
(C) Each vehicle used by a hauler for the collection or transportation of construction/demolition debris within the counties shall be identified by a license decal issued for that vehicle during the current license year. The hauler must affix the decal in a conspicuous place on the left side of the cab of the vehicle for which it was issued as directed by the Department. The hauler must maintain the license decal so that it is readily visible and legible at all times. Any vehicle not bearing the required decal shall be considered unlicensed. If a vehicle is put into service during the license year, the hauler shall submit the required information for this vehicle to the county and shall not use the vehicle to collect or transport construction/demolition debris within the county until a decal has been issued and affixed to the vehicle.
(D) The hauler shall obtain and submit certificates of insurance issued by insurers duly licensed by the state providing the following coverage, or a self-insurance plan certified by the State Commissioner of Commerce for providing equivalent coverage:
(1) General liability coverage in the amount of $1,000,000 for bodily injury per occurrence, $300,000 for property damage per occurrence, or $1,000,000 combined single limit;
(2) Automobile liability coverage in the amounts of $1,000,000 for property damage, $300,000 for bodily injury per person and $1,000,000 for bodily injury per accident, or $1,000,000 combined single limit; and
(3) Workers compensation insurance, in accordance with M.S. Chapter 176, as it may be amended from time to time.
(E) Nothing in this provision shall prohibit a hauler from providing insurance with limits higher than the limits provided herein. The county shall be listed as additional insured. Before the license shall be issued, the licensee shall agree to hold the additional insured harmless and shall agree to defend and indemnify the additional insured, and the additional insured’s employees and agents, for any claims, damages, losses, and expenses related to the work under the license. The licensee’s contract of insurance shall be the primary insurance for the additional insured and the licensee or insurance company shall provide a certificate of insurance which verifies the existence of the insurance required, including provisions to hold the additional insured harmless and defend and indemnify the additional insured. All policies and certificates shall be endorsed to require that the insurer provide at least a 60-day written notice to the county prior to the effective date of policy cancellation, non-renewal or material adverse change in coverage terms. The hauler shall maintain insurance in compliance with this division throughout the term of the construction/demolition license.
(F) The issuance of an operating license shall be subject to the provision of county ordinances and any other conditions set forth in this chapter or established by the Board of Commissioners.
