If you're a contractor or vendor who plans on doing business with more than one California fair this year, CFSA's Master Insurance List is for you. Inclusion on the list is free ~ all you need to do is to send a current Master Insurance Certificate to CFSA (attention: Lianne Lewellen). Here's our address.
After we've reviewed the certificate to ensure it meets all language and liability requirements, your company and/or name will be added to the Master Insurance List. This establishes your proof of liability insurance for every new fair contract you enter into within a one year period.
Best of all, you'll no longer have to submit duplicate proof of insurance certificates for each new contract, and every fair you do business with is assured that your certificate is approved by CFSA!
If you're a fair, we encourage you to tell contractors and vendors about this list and to recommend that they send a Master Insurance Certificate to CFSA. (All Master Certificates [including hazardous] are kept on file at CFSA.)
The list is updated monthly, February through October and you have your choice of receiving it by email or through regular mail.
Note: Carnival operators are included as the last section of the Master Insurance List. A few of the carnival operators listed are “approved for interim events only.” This means they only have $2,000,000 in General Liability limits. All other carnival operators have $5,000,000 per occurrence General Liability limits as required per CFSA’s Insurance Requirements. The Carnival Master List meets CFSA’s Insurance requirements but may not meet all requirements for the Division of Fairs and Expositions Early-Qualification Specifications.
All vendors/contractors for hazardous activities appear at the back of the list in a color that changes with each monthly issue. Also, please note that the addition of asterisks (**CFSA ###**) to an existing CFSA number indicates that the California Exposition and State Fair has been included as an additional insured on that particular vendor/contractor’s certificate.
In the event a contractor does not appear on the combined Master Insurance List and they feel they have been mistakenly omitted, please call our office at (916) 263-6145 to determine the status of their certificate approval. Otherwise, please follow your normal procedure of obtaining a certificate of insurance from each vendor/contractor not on the list for your files. Please be sure to check the policy dates to verify coverage during your event including set up and take down days if required.
IMPORTANT: The Master Insurance List is issued as a matter of information only. CFSA is not responsible for coverages, exclusions, limitations and conditions in the actual insurance contract.
