What it does
The base CGL excludes from "insured contract" indemnity of a railroad for construction or demolition within 50 feet of railroad property, and easement or license agreements connected with such work. For operations performed for or affecting the Scheduled Railroad at a Designated Job Site, CG 24 17 replaces the definition with one that omits those railroad limitations.
Who needs it
Utility, pipeline, bridge, highway, telecom and building contractors whose jobs cross or adjoin railroad tracks, along with signal and track contractors.
Key provisions and limits
- Schedule lists the railroad and the job site.
- The architect, engineer and surveyor professional services carve-outs remain.
Quoting and selling notes
- Railroads usually also require a Railroad Protective Liability policy (CG 00 35); CG 24 17 does not replace it.
- CG 24 27 is the limited version that adds the "caused, in whole or in part, by you" condition.
