Insurance
If fabrication, installation or other work is specified to be done on the University's premises, prior to commencement of work, a contract must be signed and the contractor must furnish the University with certificates of insurance, naming Hofstra University as an additional insured. The University requires contractors to maintain specified levels of insurance coverage for all work to be performed on campus.
The University awards multiyear contracts when appropriate, to support ongoing services or repairs. These agreements typically coincide with the University's fiscal year, which spans from September 1 through August 31.
