PROPOSAL from NHM.pdf
Rationale: Term is from July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020
This is to authorize the administration to award the contract for Property Insurance, (including Boiler, Machinery and Terrorism Insurance) for 2019-20 fiscal year. Proposals were solicited and analyzed by the District's broker, Nausch, Hogan and Murray. Travelers Indemnity Co., the incumbent provider, has provided the most competitive proposal. Besides Travelers, request for proposals we send to 6 other companies and Amlin Syndicate 2001 and Argo Insurance provided a higher price and Hanover Ins. Co., Hartford Ins. Co Allianz, and CHUBB declined to quote.
The increased premium is attributed to payoff of claims in the past 3 years that amounted to $3,114,064. Contributing to this also is an increase in the estimated replacement value of the building stock and contents.
