INSURANCE
It is the policy of the CRA that as a condition of approval as a Vendor of the GreenMarket, the Vendor shall provide the CRA with copies of its Certificate of Insurance. GreenMarket Vendors are required to provide two Certificates of Insurance, one that will list the Delray Beach Community Redevelopment Agency and the other that will list the City of Delray Beach; the CRA and the City need to be listed as Certificate Holder and Additional Insured. The General Liability Insurance will require a minimum of $100,000 of coverage. These documents will not be required with the submittal of the Application.
Approved Vendors will be separately notified of insurance requirements. Certificates of Insurance will need to be submitted and approved by the GreenMarket Manager prior to being allowed to set-up. Payment of Vendor Fees does not override this requirement.
