TWCC RULE 110.110 WORKERS' COMPENSATION INSURANCE COVERAGE
If this bid/proposal package is for a building or construction contract, all of the provisions of this rule as shown below apply.
Since this is a mandatory requirement, cost increases should not be experienced because of the need to comply with the Texas
Workers' Compensation Law. For additional information contact the Texas Workers' Compensation Commission, Southfield
Building, 400 S. IH-35, Austin, Texas 78704-7491, [phone].
A. Definitions:
Certificate of coverage ("Certificate") - A copy of a certificate of insurance, a certificate of authority to self-insure

statutory workers' compensation insurance coverage for the person's or entity's employees providing services on a
project, for the duration of the project.
Duration of the project - Includes the time from the beginning of the work on the project until the contractor's/person's
work on the project has been completed and accepted by the governmental entity.
Persons providing services on the project ("subcontractor" in §406.096) - Includes all persons or entities performing
all or part of the services the contractor has undertaken to perform on the project, regardless of whether that person
contracted directly with the contractor and regardless of whether that person has employees. This includes, without
limitation, independent contractors, subcontractors, leasing companies, motor carriers, owner-operators, employees of
any such entity, or employees of any entity which furnishes persons to provide services on the project. "Services"

have on file certificates of coverage showing coverage for all persons providing services on the project; and
(2) No later than seven (7) days after receipt by the Contractor, a new certificate of coverage showing extension
of coverage, if the coverage period shown on the current certificate of coverage ends during the duration of
