TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Legal Research Digest 66: Due Diligence for Insurance Coverage in Transportation Construction Contracts explores the process of "due diligence," in which a transportation agency acquires objective and accurate information about its insurance companies and contractors in order to evaluate the risks of entering into an agreement and a contractual relationship. The report addresses the common issues faced by the agencies such as: proof of coverage; difficulty of interpretation of specification and insurance language; coverage disputes; lapse in coverage; and qualifying contractors for the bidding process.
