(A) (1) Unless the county shall independently determine to have employees, all contractors will, under state law, be independent contractors. The county shall require in any franchise or contract issued to solid waste contractors appropriate workers compensation and liability insurance in such amounts as, from time to time, are reasonable under all circumstances.
(2) Any such policy will have provisions that it cannot be cancelled until at least 30 days’ prior notice has been given to the county. Minimum liability rates shall be $1,000,000 for any accident and $2,000,000 in the aggregate, with the contractor being required also to carry excess liability or umbrella coverage with an additional $1,000,000 policy limit covering the county as an additional named insured.
