INSURANCE CERTIFICATES INFORMATION
Renters are required to provide proof of general liability insurance provided by an insurance company or companies licensed or approved to do business in the State of Maine by the Maine Bureau of Insurance to cover any bodily injury, death and property damage, including loss or damage to public facilities or City equipment. All renters are required to provide proof of general liability insurance in the amount of Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($400,000). Additional insurance may be required at the discretion of the Department based on the nature and circumstances of the event.
1. All policies evidenced to the City shall name the City of Portland as an additional insured for coverage for claims for which the City does not have governmental immunity. This provision shall not be deemed a waiver of any defenses, immunities, or limitations of liability or damages available to the City under the Maine Tort Claims Act, immunity concerning the recreational use of land, other Maine statutory law, judicial precedent, common law, or any other defenses, immunities, or limitations of liability available to the City.
2. Certificate Holder must read: City of Portland 389 Congress Street Portland, ME 04101
3. For any one-day event, proof of general liability insurance in compliance with this policy must be provided to the Facility Manager two weeks prior to approval of the use application.
4. Any tournament, league and/or organization must present proof of general liability insurance in compliance with this policy to the Community Center Leader at least two (2) weeks prior to the event. Failure to do so may result in the cancellation of rental.
If renter does not have insurance Maine Municipal Association (MMA) Risk Management Services sponsors a tenant user liability program called “Gatherguard” which provides an opportunity for general liability insurance for outside entities and private groups that wish to use municipal facilities owned by members of the MMA Property and Casualty Pool. The City is a member of the MMA Property and Casualty Pool, and so Gatherguard is available to users of City-owned public facilities. Coverage limits of $1 million are available for the event/program, including liability for bodily injury and property damage.
