Further, request to authorize the City Controller to disburse all funds related to this item.
The Builder’s Risk insurance policy has a $250,000 per occurrence deductible for water, flood, and windstorm and a $100,000 per occurrence deductible for all other perils, which will be applied if there is a physical damage loss to the Project.

Report
Summary
If the City purchases the Builder’s Risk insurance, the policy will include business interruption coverage to protect the City from an interruption to the Airport’s revenue stream in the event of a loss that prevents operation of Terminal 4. The Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) is unable to purchase business interruption coverage on behalf of the City.
The Finance Department’s Revenue & Risk Management Division has reviewed premium indications and evaluated the coverage, limits, and premium prices.
Financial Impact
Funds to purchase the Builder’s Risk insurance and to pay any required insurance deductible reimbursement are available in the Aviation Department Capital Improvement Program budget.
