34 retention, plus 5 percent of the reimbursed losses to cover loss
35 adjustment expenses.
36 2. The insurer must elect one of the percentage coverage
37 levels specified in this paragraph and may, upon renewal of a
38 reimbursement contract, elect a lower percentage coverage level
39 if no revenue bonds issued under subsection (6) after a covered
40 event are outstanding, or elect a higher percentage coverage
41 level, regardless of whether or not revenue bonds are
42 outstanding. All members of an insurer group must elect the same
43 percentage coverage level. Any joint underwriting association,
44 risk apportionment plan, or other entity created under s.
45 627.351 must elect the 90-percent coverage level.
46 3. The contract shall provide that reimbursement amounts
47 shall not be reduced by reinsurance paid or payable to the
48 insurer from other sources.
49 4. Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this
50 section, the board shall make available to insurers that
51 purchased coverage provided by this subparagraph in 2008,
52 insurers qualifying as limited apportionment companies under s.
53 627.351(6)(c), and insurers that have been approved to
54 participate in the Insurance Capital Build-Up Incentive Program
55 pursuant to s. 215.5595 a contract or contract addendum that
56 provides an additional amount of reimbursement coverage of up to
57 $10 million. The premium to be charged for this additional
58 reimbursement coverage shall be 50 percent of the additional
59 reimbursement coverage provided, which shall include one prepaid
60 reinstatement. The minimum retention level that an eligible

62 additional coverage layer is 30 percent of the insurer’s surplus
63 as of December 31, 2008, for the 2009-2010 contract year; as of
64 December 31, 2009, for the 2010-2011 contract year; and as of
65 December 31, 2010, for the 2011-2012 contract year. This

69 paying capacity as defined in subparagraph (c)1., but only with

71 option and meet the requirements of this subparagraph. The
72 claims-paying capacity with respect to all other participating
73 insurers and limited apportionment companies that do not select
74 the additional coverage option shall be limited to their
75 reimbursement premium’s proportionate share of the actual
76 claims-paying capacity otherwise defined in subparagraph (c)1.
77 and as provided for under the terms of the reimbursement
78 contract. The optional coverage retention as specified shall be
79 accessed before the mandatory coverage under the reimbursement
80 contract, but once the limit of coverage selected under this
81 option is exhausted, the insurer’s retention under the mandatory
82 coverage will apply. This coverage will apply and be paid
83 concurrently with mandatory coverage. This subparagraph expires

168 subparagraph 3. shall be made to financial projects not
169 programmed for contract letting as identified with a work
170 program contract class code 8 and the box code RV. These
171 reductions shall not negatively impact safety or maintenance or
172 project contingency percentage levels as of April 21, 2011. This
173 subparagraph expires July 1, 2012.
174 3.5. Notwithstanding subparagraphs 1. and 2. and ss.
