ORIM was basically created as a result of Government Code Section 11007, which requires DGS to review and approve insurance purchased by the State of California. More specifically, State Contracting Manual Section 7.40 requires that evidence of insurance in state contracts be acceptable to DGS/ORIM.
ORIM purchases insurance for many state agencies and departments, therefore, we work with various brokers and insurance companies, track insurance costs and monitor changes in the insurance marketplace. Our goal is to ensure that, should a claim be filed, that the contractor's insurance company will have the resources to defend and pay the claim.
