The University of Miami is pleased to welcome food trucks from across South Florida to campus for scheduled events throughout the year. This page has been created to provide an overview of contracting and insurance requirements that have been established to protect the business and legal interests of the University, and most importantly, the safety of our students.
Food Trucks - or vendors of any other kind - may only come to campus when invited, and when all necessary paperwork has been completed and approved by appropriate University of Miami administrators.
Each individual vendor is required to sign a University of Miami Facility Use Agreement. Agreement templates will be sent to the Event Coordinator for each event date. They will distribute them directly to invited trucks, and will collect them from vendors. All signed agreements MUST be submitted to the University of Miami no later than ten business days prior to the event.
All Food Tucks are required to carry insurance that meets the following specifications:
• The University of Miami must be listed as an additional insured via the following legal wording: “University of Miami is listed as an additional insured under general liability policy, ATIMA” This has to be legible in the certificate.
• The University of Miami must be the certificate holder. The following address can be used:
University of Miami
Attn: Glen Harris
Risk Management Department
PO BOX: 248106, Coral Gables, FL. 33124-1437
• Automotive liability must be listed; minimum limits are $1 million combine single limit. This does not apply to trailers.
• The name of the company must appear in the insured box. If the parent company name is different, other names must be listed as DBAs.
If you have any questions about the process, please contact Josh Brandfon, Associate Director of Student Activities.
