Submitted By:
Melinda Mata
Department:
County Judge

Subject:

Discussion and possible action to modify the recommended $10 million dollar Liability Umbrella to industry standards, reduce the recommended amount to $2.5 million, and remove the Builders Risk requirement Insurance, as this is typically reserved for vertical construction projects, with Mor-Wil, L.L.C. for the ARPA Waterline Projects 4, 5, 9, 10, 12, & 13 from the Rio Bravo Water Treatment Plant to La Presa Project; and any other matters incident thereto.
 
Issue: Current recommendation from Webb County’s insurance consultant is to carry a $10 million umbrella policy for this waterline project.  Project cost does not merit this recommendation.
