The contractor will have an annual insurance cost for their yard. In a lump sum contract with a defined project duration, the contractor will build a portion of this annual cost into the contract value to recover the cost, under preliminaries/overheads. If the contractor is entitled to an extension of time, where the Client is liable for the prolongation costs, then the contractor is entitled to charge additional costs for the insurances, commensurate with the additional time being added to the Project schedule.
As with all claims, they should be fully supported with appropriate evidence, but in principle this is not an unreasonable thing to expect from the contractor.

If the provisional extension granted due to clients delay then contractor has a right to demand
it should be a sole responsibility of the contractor. the contractor should include the value of the insurance in their proposal costs.
Contract duration shall be extended due to various reasons, but if it is extended due to client request we can include our additional price of insurance in our costing.

The Contractor shall claim for the additional cost incured on the premium paid for the insurance on the extended period of time, provided the delay in completion is not due to the Contractor.
Client should request the contractor to upgrade the insurance bond to cover the re-evaluated cost of the project lump sum, as a separate claim, no need to be included in the lump sum, usually
