A. A casualty claim may occur during construction that will require funding from a stakeholder’s insurance coverage. If the claim is payable under the Builder's Risk policy the funds shall be applied toward a change order (form HUD-92437) to correct the damage. For new construction or substantial rehabilitation projects, the amount to correct the damages must include the Davis-Bacon wage rate.

B. If the casualty claim is payable under the owner’s casualty insurance, the owner may choose another contractor to correct the damages, provided however, if Davis-Bacon wage rates apply, the other contractor must execute a contract form providing enforcement provisions as required for General Contractors in new construction transactions.
