BLANKET Blanket insurance is subject to our current modifier, minimum rate, general guidelines and philosophies. • Blanket each coverage separately, i.e., Buildings, Business

Personal Property, Business Income. • Application to include the specific square footage for each

building so we can determine if the building limit requested is adequate.

• A statement of values is required providing location address, city, state, zip code, construction, age of the building, number of stories, square footage of the building, value of building and business personal property if applicable. ACORD 139 or CP 16 15 may be used for this purpose.

• Minimum 90% coinsurance to be used. • Minimum $1,000 deductible to be used. • Use standard property coverage forms, however, on the

Property Supplemental Declarations page show the word “blanket” next to the Limit of Insurance. The policy needs to include the number of buildings and the addresses, and occupancies must be scheduled.

• Rating—Average rate can be used subject to current state guidelines for modifier and minimum rates.

• Wind/hail deductibles written on a percentage basis will be calculated based on the statement of values on file.

your total values (PML) for binding authority. 2. Make sure there is an ordinance or law applicable to

the property; otherwise, there is no basis for coverage. 3. Consider buildings no older than 35 years, or those

which have been fully updated (roofing, plumbing, heating, electric) within the last 35 years.

Coverage may be written utilizing either a coinsurance percentage or a monthly limit of indemnity. Minimum coinsurance percentage is 80%. Available monthly limit of indemnity options are 1/4, 1/3, 1/6, 1/12. Apply ISO factors for extended period of indemnity, per the chart below. This optional coverage is triggered when the Business Income Indemnity box on the Property Supplemental Declarations page is marked and the appropriate information is shown. For educational institutions, business income coverage for tuition and fees is available by attaching CP 15 25. The maximum Extension and Recovery Period for this endorsement is 12 months. Business Income—Landlord As Additional Insured (Rental Value) is available by attaching CP 15 03. This endorsement addresses situations where a tenant’s lease requires the tenant to provide insurance for loss of rental value for the benefit of the insured. Cause of Loss indicated on the endorsement must match the Cause of Loss for the rented premises. When the insured carries Business Income coverage for their own benefit, any payments made to the landlord under this endorsement are deducted from the insured’s business income loss. The insured may request this endorsement without purchasing their own Business Income coverage. In that event, rate using the business income rate for the location times the applicable limit and attach CP 00 32 to the policy along with CP 15 03.

Premium is a flat charge based on the total number of locations, up to 20 locations: Up to 5 total locations—$150 flat charge 6 to 10 total locations—$250 flat charge 11 to 20 total locations—$400 flat charge Over 20 locations—$750 flat charge. For non-program classifications in the Classification/Topical Guide, submission is required for CFS-20s if Equipment Breakdown Coverage requires submission and CFS-20s is prohibited if Equipment Breakdown Coverage is prohibited. This is due to the Limited Equipment Breakdown Coverage provided by CFS-20s. For program classifications, refer to the individual programs for exceptions. Commercial Property Extension, CFS-20s, is prohibited on the Wind and Solar Energy Program. CFS-20s is available for Special Cause of Loss only. If higher limits are needed, separately rate the individual coverages desired and attach the appropriate coverage forms. Consider the total limit being provided for those coverages if also attaching CFS-20s. An e-flier is available to assist you in marketing the Commercial Property Extension. Refer to the E&S/Specialty Portal under the Underwriting Tools tab/Marketing Tools page.

Equipment Breakdown Equipment Breakdown Coverage, in partnership with Hartford Steam Boiler, is available for machinery and equipment that may experience coverage gaps due to exclusions found within standard property coverage forms. Program policies with occupancies eligible for Commercial Property or Builders Risk Coverage within your authority are eligible for Equipment Breakdown Coverage, unless otherwise indicated in these guidelines or in the individual programs. Non-program policies with occupancies eligible for Commercial Property Coverage within your authority are eligible for Equipment Breakdown Coverage, unless otherwise indicated in these guidelines or in our Classification and Topical Guide under Comments for the individual classifications. Joint or Disputed Loss Agreement is available by attaching CP 12 70. This is only available when the policyholder has secured Equipment Breakdown coverage from another carrier. The other carrier’s policy must contain a substantially similar endorsement or loss agreement condition. CP 12 70 may not be used in conjunction with Commercial Property Extension endorsement CFS-20s due to the Limited Equipment Breakdown coverage it contains.

• We need to confirm that the primary carrier premium added to our excess premium equals a total premium that is adequate for the entire account.

• The coinsurance provision does not apply. Our procedure for premium development of an excess property limit is as follows: • Divide the amount of primary insurance by the TIV to

obtain the percent of exposure. • Locate the corresponding percent of premium as found in

the First Loss Table. This percentage is subject to a 90% maximum when computing excess premium.

• The percentage of premium found on the chart (subject to a 90% maximum) is then multiplied by the total premium to obtain the first loss premium.

• Subtract the first loss premium from the total premium to arrive at the excess premium.

Contact your Contract Property and Casualty underwriter for more specific information. First Loss First loss is when the company writes first dollar within its limit and the coinsurance provision is suspended. This process for premium development should also be used when the insured has requested a building limit that is underinsured, and we need to obtain an adequate premium for the exposure. Our procedure for premium development for a primary (first loss) limit is as follows: • Determine actual cash value (ACV). • Divide the amount of insurance requested by the actual

cash value to determine the percent of exposure. • Locate the corresponding percent of premium as found in

the First Loss Table (see below).

Example ACV = $5,000,000 Building First Loss Limit of $2,000,000 requested 1. Determine the rate to be used in the normal manner using

the program rate, or if rating ISO times the LCM and state modifier (if any), subject to the minimum rate for the state.

Manual LCM State

Modifier Rate Min. Rate

$.25 X 1.78 X $1.25 = $.556 $.70

$5,000,000 (per $100: $50,000) X .70 = $35,000 2. Divide the amount of insurance requested by the Actual

Cash Value to determine the percent of exposure. $2,000,000/$5,000,000 = 40%

3. Locate the corresponding percent of premium in the First Loss Table. 40% of exposure = 86.33% of premium

4. The percentage of premium is then multiplied by the total value premium to obtain the first loss premium. $35,000 x .8633 = $30,216

Functional Building Valuation/Functional Business Personal Property Valuation Underwriter approval is required. This valuation is typically used when a functionally equivalent building can replace the original at a lower cost than would be required by identical replacement, such as an older building whose architectural style has become obsolete or simply unnecessary to the insured’s current use of the building. It is not replacement cost. There is no coinsurance clause for this valuation. Ordinance or Law Coverage is included in the form. Your Contract Property and Casualty underwriter will provide guidance on forms CP 04 38 and CP 04 39 (10-90) (CP 04 47 and CP 04 48 for California).

Glass Glass coverage is included in the Building and Personal Property Coverage Form, CP 00 10. No separate forms are required. If the insured is the building owner, include the value of the glass in the building limit. The deductible for glass is the same as the building deductible. If a tenant has a contractual responsibility to insure the building glass, refer to Building Property Coverage for Tenant’s Policy.

Historic Register—Buildings

Coverage is available for buildings listed on a Historic Register. Such property is at least 50 years of age and is listed on a Federal, State, County, Municipal or other governmental Historic Register. An inspection is required on all accounts by a qualified inspection company with building valuation. CFS-89, Historic Building Valuation, is a required form. ACV or Replacement Cost is available with coinsurance. For Replacement Cost coverage, all electrical, heating, plumbing and roofing must have been replaced within the past 35 years. Updates must be verified on the application or inspection. Underwriter approval is required for Agreed Value, which is not subject to coinsurance. For Agreed Value consideration, we require an appraisal from a specialty contractor who specializes in appraisals of historical buildings.

Household Personal Property Household Personal Property Coverage (CP 99 92) is available with limits up to $250,000. This coverage may be written with or without Business Personal Property Coverage. Use the Property class code and rate based on primary occupancy of the location. Include the Household Personal Property Coverage limit when figuring your total values (PML) for binding authority.

Legal Liability Coverage The Legal Liability Coverage Form, CP 00 40, will pay those sums that the insured becomes legally obligated to pay as damages because of direct physical loss or damage to tangible property of others. The property must be in the insured’s care, custody, or control, and the damage must be caused by an insured peril, as indicated on the appropriate causes of loss form. CP 00 40 also covers loss of use of the property and provides defense expense coverage outside the applicable limit of insurance. The loss to covered property must be caused by accident, thus eliminating coverage for intentional damage brought about by the insured. Coverage is not provided for any liability assumed in a contract for which the insured would not otherwise be legally liable. CP 00 40 is not to be used for a contractor on property under construction or being worked on by the contractor. The Legal Liability Coverage Schedule, CP DS 05, must be attached and include a precise description of the insured’s business operations, location, and the property of others for which the insured may be legally liable. The Commercial Property Conditions, CP 00 90 and a Cause of Loss form, must also be attached. Underwriting criteria applicable to Causes of Loss apply to this coverage, including but not limited to building age/updates, theft and windstorm/hail guidelines. You may write building coverage only up to a maximum limit of $1,000,000 for a sole tenant of a building. Charge 50% of the final property rate, per $100 of building limit. Include premium with Property Coverage Part premium on Common Policy Declarations. If this coverage is written in conjunction with General Liability, the Limits of Insurance on the General Liability Coverage Part Supplemental Declarations for Damage to Premises Rented to You must show “Excluded,” “Not Covered” or “0” and form CG 21 45, Exclusion—Damage to Premises Rented to You, must be attached. Any requests for this form for a multi-occupancy building must be referred to your underwriter for approval. Note: See Florida State Exceptions in this guide.

Peak Season Increased limits for Business Personal Property during peak season are available for businesses that experience increased inventory during certain times of the year. Peak Season Limit of Insurance, form CP 12 30, may be used to increase this limit during the time period specified on the endorsement, thereby avoiding over-insuring during the off-season and underinsuring during the peak season. Premium is calculated by prorating the annual rate for each period specified in the endorsement, times the increase in the limit of insurance (in hundreds).

Personal Property of Others Coverage is available in conjunction with Building or Business Personal Property on accounts with incidental exposure to personal property of others (limits up to $10,000). Otherwise, Bailee’s coverage should be provided and charged for. Refer to the Inland Marine section of the Underwriting Guide. Personal Property of Others is not available for warehousing and freight forwarding operations, as that is Warehouseman’s Legal Liability. Use the business personal property rate for the location times the applicable limit.

Sprinkler Leakage Included in Basic, Broad and Special Causes of Loss forms. May be excluded by using form CP 10 56.

Tenant’s Improvements and Betterments Improvements and Betterments are included in the Building and Personal Property Coverage Form, CP 00 10. They are considered Covered Property under the definition of Business Personal Property. Improvements and betterments are permanent additions or changes made to a building by a lessee at their own expense but which they cannot legally remove. The limit for improvements and betterments may either be included in the Business Personal Property limit or listed as a separate item on the Property Supplemental Declarations. Use the business personal property rate for the location if listing improvements and betterments separately. • Underwriting Considerations:

1. Make sure the changes made by the tenant qualify as improvements and betterments for coverage purposes. They must be made at the tenant’s expense and cannot legally be moved.

2. Owners of a commercial condo unit should not attempt to insure their condo unit on form CP 00 10 with an improvements and betterments limit. Contact your Contract Property and Casualty Underwriter for guidance on proper handling using form CP 00 18, Condominium Commercial Unit-Owners Coverage Form.

Theft • Included in the Special Cause of Loss form. It can be

excluded by attaching form CP 10 33. A theft sublimit may be used by attaching form CFS-24s (also see the Business Personal Property section for discussion of theft and target items).

Triple Net Lease Underwriter approval is required if Building coverage is being requested. This type of lease requires the lessee to pay for net real estate taxes on the leased asset, net building insurance and net common area maintenance. We offer coverage when our insured is the sole tenant in a building. CP 12 19, Additional Insured—Building Owner, should be attached.

Utility Services Coverage may be provided by attaching form CP 04 17 for Utility Services Direct Damage coverage or by attaching form CP 15 45 for Utility Services Time Element coverage. Coverage is available for risks that require utility services to supply basic commercial exposures such as bathrooms, employee breakrooms, sprinkler systems, lighting, phone, internet, payment processing and heating/air conditioning systems. Coverage is also available for risks with food or beverage exposures. Coverage is available for Direct Damage only in conjunction with either Building or Business Personal Property coverage. Coverage is available for Time Element only in conjunction with Business Income and/or Extra Expense coverage. Cause of Loss shown for Utility Services must match the Cause of Loss shown for the covered location(s). The waiting period for Utility Services Time Element must match the Business Income waiting period. No waiting period applies if the policy only provides Extra Expense coverage.

PROBABLE MAXIMUM LOSS (PML) In protected and noncoastal areas, we consider buildings which are 50 feet or less apart subject. In coastal areas or protection class 9-10, contact your Contract Property and Casualty underwriter to determine the Probable Maximum Loss for risks with multiple buildings.

RATES • Program Classes

All program designated classifications must utilize the program rates, rather than ISO rates, subject to state exceptions. Use ISO Protection Class assignments to underwrite and price the property line of business. For Program business, rate 8B or any X, Y Protection Class as PC 9. Rate any W Protection Class as PC 10. Submit any deviation.

• Non-program Classes

Each state has specific minimum rates and modifiers based on current ISO loss costs and our experience. For specific minimum rates and modifiers for your state, refer to the appropriate State Information page on the E&S/Specialty Portal under the Underwriting Tools tab/Related UW Information portlet/Contract State Information, or contact your Contract Property and Casualty underwriter. A rating worksheet, showing the ISO loss cost rates and applicable modifiers, must be included when sending in the application with our copy of the policy. When using loss cost rates, in applicable states, the most current ISO loss cost advisory rates should be used (this can include ISO deductible credits) along with the company loss cost multiplier times the appropriate modifier. When using one of our admitted companies, please check the individual state filing, or contact your underwriter.
