Traveler Prop 5-16-18.pdf
Rationale: This is to authorize the administration to purchase Property Insurance, (including Boiler, Machinery and Terrorism Insurance) for 2018-19. Proposals were solicited through the District's broker, Nausch, Hogan and Murray. Travelers Indemnity Co., the incumbent provider, has provided the most competitive quotation. Besides Travelers, request for proposals we send to 5 other companies and Amin Syndicate provided a higher price and Hanover Ins. Co., Hartford Ins. Co Allianz, and AIG/Lexington declined to quote.
The increased premium is attributed to the two open claims on Traveler’s books, School 5 Flood and the Saunders High Fire. Contributing to this is an increase in the estimated replacement value of the building stock and contents.
