Whenever an RRI West property starts using a new contractor for a capital project, we need a Certificate of Insurance and a W9 from them before we can proceed with using them for any work. This will protect us from any liability associated with potential accidents.
*As a GM, it is important that you are aware of this so that you do not allow any contractors to perform work without a COI. The COIs need to be renewed annually and the expirations vary depending on the contractor, so even if you have used a contractor in the past, there is a chance we do not have a current COI on file for them or it is not worded correctly. If you are not sure whether we have an accurate COI on file for a contractor, you can reference the Suppliers & Vendors list in RM Pro.*

This list is still a work in progress, so if you do not see the contractor on this list, please reach out to Jordan Tawney to see if we have a COI on file.
There is a specific set of criteria that needs to be included on the COI, so once you have received notice that a capital project has been approved, your RFPM will assist with getting a correct COI.
