The Applicant shall furnish and maintain all insurance as required herein and comply with all limits, terms
and conditions stipulated therein, at their expense, for the duration of the contract. Following is a list of
requirements for this contract. Any exclusion that may restrict required coverage must be pre-approved by
the County. The Permit shall not be effective until evidence of all required insurance and bonding is

be licensed to do business in the State of Washington. Evidence of such insurance shall consist of a
completed copy of the Certificate of Insurance, signed by the insurance agent for the Applicant and returned
to the County Department with whom the Permit in executed. The insurance policy or policies will not be
cancelled, materially changed or altered without forty-five (45) day prior notice submitted to the department
with whom the Permit is executed. The policy shall be endorsed and the certificate shall reflect that the
County is an additional named insured on the Applicant’s general liability policy with respect to activities
under the Permit. The policy shall provide and the certificate shall reflect that the insurance afforded applies
separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought except with respect to the limits of
the company’s liability.
The policy shall be endorsed and the certificate shall reflect that the insurance afforded therein shall be
primary insurance and any insurance or self-insurance carried by the County shall be in excess and not
contributory insurance to that provided by the Applicant.
The Applicant shall not commence work, nor shall the Applicant allow any subcontractor to commence work
on any subcontract until a Certificate of Insurance, meeting the requirements set forth herein, has been
approved by the County and filed with the department with whom the Permit is executed. Upon request, the
Applicant shall forward to the County the original policy, or endorsement obtained, to the Applicant’s policy
currently in force.
Failure of the Applicant to fully comply with the insurance requirements set forth herein, during the term of
the Permit, shall be considered a material breach of contract and cause for immediate termination of the
Permit at the County’s discretion.
REQUIRED COVERAGE: Providing coverage in the amounts listed shall not be construed to relieve the
Applicant from liability in excess of such amounts. The insurance shall provide the minimum coverage as
set forth below:
1. GENERAL LIABILITY INSURANCE: The Applicant shall have Commercial General Liability with limits of
$1,000,000.00 per occurrence, which includes general aggregate, products, completed operation,

Additional Insured.”
The construction of all public and private roads in Skagit County shall comply with the most recent version
of the Skagit County Public Works Standards adopted by the Board of Skagit County Commissioners. See,
SCC 14.36.010
No person shall be permitted to build or construct any approach to any county road without first obtaining
permission therefor from the Board (of Skagit County Commissioners). The boards of the several counties
of the state may adopt reasonable rules for the construction of approaches which, when complied with, shall
entitle a person to build or construct an approach from any abutting property to any county road. The rules
may include provisions for the construction of culverts under the approaches, the depth of fills over the
culverts and for such other drainage facilities as the board deems necessary. The construction of
approaches, culverts, fills, or such other drainage facilities as may be required shall be under the
supervision of the county road engineer, and all such construction shall be at the expense of the person
benefited by the construction. See, RCW 36.75.130
