Current through July 10, 2024
(a) For any event at the Mansion or GC
				Visitors' Center where food is served, the renter shall retain a caterer to
				provide the food; such caterer shall be one that is listed on the Department's
				list of approved caterers.
(b) A
				renter may not retain a caterer in connection with an event at the Pavilion,
				Fort or PM Pavilion unless, no later than 120 days before such event, the
				renter submits for the Commissioner's approval the name, address, and the phone
				number of such caterer and, if appropriate, the name of such caterer's contact
				person. The Commissioner may disapprove such caterer if the caterer has
				previously been retained for an event in either Park and at that time did not
				fully comply with the requirements of this section, did not restore the
				Kitchen, all areas where food or beverages were served, and any other areas of
				the rented premises or Park utilized by the caterer to their condition
				immediately prior to the event, or in any other way failed to demonstrate
				competence or regard for legal requirements.
(c) No later than 90 days before an event,
				the caterer thereof shall deliver to the Commissioner a certificate of
				insurance executed by an insurance company licensed in Connecticut, stating
				that the caterer carries both
(1) Commercial
				liability insurance including insurance for liquor liability, products and
				completed operations liability, contractual liability, and personal and
				advertising injury liability, providing for a total limit of $1,000,000 for all
				damages arising out of bodily injury to or death of all persons in any one
				accident or occurrence, and for all damages arising out of injury to or
				destruction of property in any one accident or occurrence; and stating further
				that, if such liability insurance is subject to an aggregate limit, the
				aggregate limit shall be no less than $2,000,000; and stating further that such
				liability insurance policy names the State of Connecticut as an additional
				insured; and
(2) Worker's
				compensation insurance and employers' liability insurance as required by
				section 3-291 and 3-284 of the general statutes, respectively, providing for a
				total limit of not less than $100,000 per occurrence, $100,000 for disease per
				employee, and $500,000 for disease in the aggregate; provided that a caterer
				need not obtain liquor liability insurance if alcoholic beverages, including
				wine, will not be served at the event. If the caterer does not comply with the
				requirements of this subsection, the Commissioner shall not allow food or
				beverages to be served at the event. By catering an event, the caterer agrees
				to, and shall, indemnify and hold the State of Connecticut and Department of
				Environmental Protection harmless from any and all claims, damages, losses,
				litigation, or expenses arising out of an injury, including death, or damage to
				property, resulting from any act, omission, or neglect of the caterer or any of
				his agents or contractors.
