71. a. In the case of any school facilities project which has a State share of 100%, the development authority may require the use of wrap-up insurance coverage for the project and shall establish the terms and requirements for any such coverage.

b. For any school facilities project which has a State share of less than 100%, the district may elect to purchase wrap-up insurance coverage for the school facilities project. A district may purchase the coverage on its own or may enter into a joint purchasing agreement with one or more other districts to purchase coverage.

c. As used in this section, “wrap-up insurance coverage” means a single insurance and loss control program for all parties involved in the school facilities project, including the owners, administrators, contractors and all tiers of subcontractors, which is controlled and authorized by the owner or financing administrator and applicable to defined construction work sites. Wrap-up insurance coverage may include, but not be limited to, workers’ compensation and employers’ liability, commercial general liability, umbrella/excess liability, builder’s risk, architects’ and engineers’ errors and omissions, liability, environmental liability, and force majeure.
