It has been significantly modified with respect to the insurance schedule that in the past was located in the body of the contract. Risk Management has created a web-based insurance manual,“Insurance and Indemnification Requirements for Contracts.” This manual was developed in partnership with the Attorney General’s office and the Purchasing Division to assist agencies with developing insurance specifications for their solicitations and State contracts.  \nRisk Management recognizes that some of the State’s current contracts may not meet the specifications as listed in the manual. It is not necessary to revise those contracts currently in force; rather the new requirements should be introduced upon contract renewal. The purpose of the manual is to make available insurance and indemnification information that is more tailored to the specific types of contracts entered into by State agencies. The manual is not intended to take the place of personal interaction between agencies and the Risk Management Division regarding any questions that may arise about insurance requirements. Risk Management recognizes that there is no \"one size fits all\" approach to these kinds of issues, and also recognizes that some contracts may pose specialized risks that require further review. Agencies are still encouraged to contact the Risk Management department for additional information. Risk Management should review any agreements that include performance bonding.  \nCompleting the Contract Form  \nThe contracting agency and contractor information at the top of page one (1) of the contract should be filled out completely and should identify: the agency, agency contact and title, address, telephone and fax numbers. The same information should be provided for the contractor, the federal tax identification number should not be included. The language within the contract form limits the sections that can be modified by the contracting agency without prior approval from the Attorney General’s Office. The following addresses the sections agencies have authority to modify.  \nSection 3. Contract Term: Identify the date the contract will become effective, this is either prospective (contractor starts work on a date after Board of Examiners approval), retroactive (contractor started work on a date before Board of Examiners approval), or it is upon/subject to Board of Examiners’ approval (contractor can start work date contract approved) . Agencies should identify the date of the Board of Examiners meeting the contract is anticipated to be approved. It is important to note: Contacts should not contain retroactive effective dates unless extraordinary circumstances exist that may justify the use of such as provision. All retroactive contracts must be submitted to the Budget Division with a memorandum of justification. The termination date is the date the contractor is to have completed all work identified within the scope of work (Attachment AA, generally) .  \nSection 4. Notice: Agencies are to fill in the number of calendar days prior notice they require in the event of contract termination, usually thirty (30) days. However, there are specific  \ninstances where an agency may require as few as five (5) days or as many as one hundred and eighty (180) days. This is often determined by the agency based on type of contract, availability of other contractors and importance of service.  \nSection 5. Incorporated Documents: In most instances, the State Solicitation, whether an informal quote or a Request for Proposal (RFP) identifies the scope of work, and is generally incorporated in the highest order of precedence as Attachment AA to the contract, the Insurance Schedule will be incorporated as Attachment BB, and the Contractors Response is generally incorporated as Attachment CC.  \nIn instances where an agency has negotiated separate items, they","cbCainuauPWHPefX","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainuauPWHPefX","pdf",32768,"English","# Completing the Contract Form\n## Section 3.
