Insurance
We recognize the value of the annual insurance placement as the primary asset protection tool used by most organizations. We review lines and limits of coverage for adequacy on behalf of our clients, and have leveraged the purchasing power of our entire client portfolio to obtain credits on standard market pricing for nonprofits.
Bid Specifications
Complete bid specifications are developed for any major contract item: a new roof, outdoor play space, landscaping, snow removal, painting and paving all have formal specifications written. Each prospective contractor bids the specifications as written, and a comparison of pricing is provided to the Executive Director with our recommendations.
Contractor Vetting
As a result of our size we have created a list of very competent contractors in all disciplines. Our bid list contractors are carefully screened to ensure they have the equipment, expertise and insurance necessary. Our weekly payment process means many contractors vie to be part of our bid list.
