Upcoming Insurance Program Changes
Effective June 1, 2013, the Airports Authority will discontinue its Owner Controlled Wrap-up Insurance Program (OCWIP) and will be adopting an Owner Controlled Insurance Program (OCIP). It is anticipated that the only changes will be with regard to (1) automobile liability and (2) workers compensation and employers liability coverage, which will not be provided under the OCIP. Contractors and subcontractors will be responsible to provide and maintain their own automobile liability, and workers compensation and employers liability insurance policies. The specifics of the OCIP will be issued as a change to affected contracts, effective June 1, 2013; specific documentation requirements for reimbursement of the automobile liability, and workers compensation and employers liability premium will be provided to affected contractors at that time. The reasonable increase in premium costs associated with the change from OCWIP to OCIP may be reimbursable upon receipt of supporting documentation. Affected contractors are responsible for notifying all subcontractors of this change and for obtaining all necessary supporting documentation.
Note: This change only affects those contractors who perform onsite work beyond June 1, 2013.
