Proposal Abstract E&O .pdf
Rationale: Term is from July 1, 2019-to June 3, 2020. Greenwich Insurance Co. is a member of XL Catlin Group. The reduction is approximately 12.5%, Greenwich has been able to offer a reduction in premiums for the last 3 years.
This is to authorize administration to award the contract for the School Educators’ Management & Employment Practices Liability Insurance Coverage (E&O) for the fiscal year 2019-2020. Proposals were solicited and analyzed by the District’s broker Nausch, Hogan and Murray. The lowest bidder was National Union Insurance Co (AIG) $75,212, not the Greenwich Insurance Co., the incumbent provider. Taking in consideration that the Greenwich Insurance Company provided us with some additional enhancements from last year coverage, no claim handling issues, consistently decreasing premiums and prior working relationship with YPS, our brokers, NHM, feel that it is to YPS advantage to continue working with Greenwich Insurance Co. Four other firms offered proposals ranging from $128,000 from Western Warls/ Valiuds to Ironshore Insurance Co. $250,000 for similar coverage. Another four declined to offer proposals due to requested limits, or not being in the market for the coverage.
