Cornell University requires that vendors who perform a service that may result in liability to the university meet certain minimum levels of insurance coverage. Vendors must submit evidence of adequate insurance coverage before performing work or services for the university. If you are unsure whether the intended service provider must provide proof of insurance, contact the Risk Management and Insurance.
A service is defined as an activity in which labor is the major factor and not merely incidental to the production, acquisition, and/or delivery of a good. Examples of services include hay delivery, catering, equipment repair, and web site design. For more information, please refer to section 405, Insurance Requirements of the Buying Manual.
