Body

BACKGROUND:

The City issued a request to bid for 2020 Property, Casualty, and Workers Compensation insurance. The city was assisted with the preparation of the request for bid and solicitation of proposals by its insurance consultant, Charlesworth Consulting.    Due to the limited insurance markets seeking new city business, we received a total of two (2) proposals:  (1) our current provider, TML-IRP; and (2) Travelers Insurance. 

TML-IRP is a risk sharing pool that provides governmental entities in Texas insurance coverages.  The TML-IRP program offers excellent terms and conditions for a total premium (contribution) of $796,401 ($607,713 property & casualty coverages + $188,688 for workers’ compensation), which is a 7.3% increase from the expiring program but includes some coverage enhancements such as a lower general liability deductible, higher law enforcement liability limit, and a lower automobile physical damage deductible.

Travelers Insurance Company is recognized as a national leader in public sector insurance.  Travelers proposed $682,459 for property & casualty coverages.  Travelers declined to submit a bid for the workers’ compensation.  The Travelers’ proposal contained a 2% deductible per effected building value for windstorm/hail damage, subject to a minimum per occurrence of $250,000.  (TML-IRP’s deductible per occurrence is $25,000).  Travelers does not offer a maximum automobile physical damage deductible for non-collision losses.   (TML-IRP’s maximum deductible is $10,000 per occurrence and includes wind and hail damage.)

RECOMMENDATION

 

Based on the above, it is recommended that the City accept the insurance proposals submitted by TML-IRP.   The attached resolution authorizes the City Manager to continue coverage with TMLIRP in the areas of Workers’ Compensation, General Liability, Automobile Physical Damage, Automobile Liability, Law Enforcement Liability, Errors and Omissions, Crime, Real and Personal Property, and Mobile Equipment.  The coverage renewal to be effective October 1, 2019.
