4) Section 16 of the Special (Page 150)
16.1 in the Special Conditions asks for $2,000,000/$4,000,000 limits for
commercial liability and states builders risk insurance is required. This seems
excessive for a lighting retrofit of this size. Can you confirm that the types and
limits listed in section 16 of the Special Conditions (page 150) are the policies and
limits required for this specific contract?
