Specifically, this proposal deals with the review and analysis of the renewal proposal you are to receive from Hanchette Insurance on or about August 31, 1992. We propose to conduct an in depth analysis of the proposal including, but not necessarily limited to the following: 1. An examination of the program description as presented by the broker. 2. A thorough analysis of all specimen policies and endorsements furnished by the broker to be certain the forms do, in fact, provide the described coverage. 3. A complete analysis of the financial ramifications for the City of each of the risk financing alternatives being offered, if any. The results of our analysis will be documented in both a spreadsheet format and a written narrative. Our report will contain recommendations for modification to the proposed program, if appropriate, and a specific recommendation regarding acceptance of any alternatives which may be presented. We anticipate a turn around time of approximately three days from the time we receive the proposal until we will be prepared to deliver our report. As such, there should be no problems whatsoever with the meeting schedule you have outlined. Management Consultants in Risk and Insurance „cl., • • Mr. Michael A. Sarro Page 2 August 21, 1992 Although I will have the overall responsibility for the services provided to the City of Elgin, I believe your interests will be best served by assigning the primary responsibility to Richard Rudolph. In answer .to the specific questions you have asked regarding qualifications and experience, I have attached a brief resume of Rich's credentials, a list of Illinois public entities for which he has provided risk management consulting services and a list of a few of his publications and presentations which deal directly with the public sector. After reviewing these attachments, I am sure you will understand my excitement about having Rich as a part of CPC. Rich's hourly fee for this or other work for the City of Elgin will be $165. Based upon this rate and our estimate of the time required to accomplish the work described above, we project our fee for this project to be approximately $2,000. We are confident enough with this estimate to agree that under no circumstances will our fee exceed $2,250.

August 25, 1992 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and Members of City Council FROM: City Manager SUBJECT: Selection of an Independent Insurance Consultant PURPOSE: The purpose of this memorandum is to provide Council with information to select an independent insurance consultant. BACKGROUND: Approximately August 1st, the City' s longtime • independent insurance consultant, Corporate Policyholders Coun- sel (CPC) underwent some dramatic personnel changes that result- ed in most of its consultants ( including the two individuals who have served the City of Elgin over the last several years) leav- ing to form a new consulting firm called Risk Resources (please refer to Attachments "Al" & "A2" ) . Because of this unusual situation, staff drafted letters to both firms requesting proposals regarding the evaluation of the upcom- ing renewal quotation from Hanchette Insurance for our new poli- cy period beginning October 1st as well as requesting hourly rates for other future consulting work (please refer to Attach- ments "Bl" & "B2" ) . Both firms responded with proposals by our 12 : 00 noon August 24th deadline (please refer to Attachments "Cl" & "C2" ) . Staff's evaluation of these proposals finds: CPC has hired a new consultant, Richard Rudolph, who would become our primary consultant; Risk Resources indicates that Bill Leinheiser, who has been our prima- ry consultant for the last 5 years, would continue in that capacity. CPC has offered a somewhat better-priced proposal pack- • age, offering to perform Hanchette ' s upcoming renewal quotation for a maximum of $2250 (vs . Risk Resources estimate of $3000-$4000) and offering other future consulting work at $165/hour (vs . Risk Resources $170/hour. ) Memo to Mayor and Members of City Council Page 2 August 25, 1992 The crux of the analysis comes down to this question: Would the City be better served by staying with CPC or by switching to Risk Resources? CPC has been our independent consulting firm for ap- proximately 20 years, has always done an outstanding job, is offering somewhat better rates, but there would be some "learning time" involved for Mr. Rudolph to become familiar with Elgin's self-insurance program. Risk Resources offers Mr. Bill Leinheiser, who has done an outstanding job serving as our primary consul- tant for the past 5 years and is most familiar with the City's current self-insurance program. Staff is of the opinion that both firms would do an outstanding job. Taking all factors into considera- tion, staff recommends that we stay with CPC as our independent insurance consultant. FINANCIAL IMPACT: There are sufficient funds set-aside for the review of this year' s insurance renewal quotation by CPC in the Risk Management Fund under the general classification "Mis- cellaneous Professional Services" (Approp #630-809-9320) . 411 RECOMMENDATION: The recommendation is that Corporate Policy- holders Counsel be retained as the City' s independent insurance consultant and that they be directed to review our upcoming 1992/1993 Insurance program quotation for the not to exceed price of $2250 . ` I • Larr• .

Sarro Purchasing Director City of Elgin 150 Dexter Court Elgin, IL 60120 RE: INSURANCE CONSULTING SERVICES Dear Mike: This is in response to your letter of August 18, 1992 requesting a proposal for independent insurance consulting services. As you know, three consultants have left Corporate Policyholders Counsel and formed Risk Resources. We provide independent insurance advice -I. on a fee basis. I have been involved with the City of Elgin's insurance program since 1987. The services I have provided include the preparation of specifications that have been used to solicit insurance proposals from various agents and brokers, the review of those proposals, meeting with representatives of the City and City Council to discuss the merits of the various proposals and also responding to various insurance questions raised by employees of the City during the year. • I very much want to continue to provide these services to the City of Elgin in my capacity as a consultant at Risk Resources. - I propose to provide the following services associated with the October 1, 1992 renewal of your property and casualty insurance program. 1. Review the initial renewal offering from Hanchette Insurance. from both a coverage and cost standpoint.. 2. Negotiate with the broker and proposed insurer regarding coverage issues, cost and alternatives. In the past, these negotiations have covered such things as the inclusion of coverage for sexual abuse claims, the inclusion of coverage for claims arising out of the City's failure to provide services, replacement cost valuation as opposed to depreciated cost valuation for specific high valued City vehicles, optional proposals at various levels of self-insurance, and others. +,, • Two Westbrook Corporate Center • Wolf Road at 22nd Street Suite 640 • Westchester, Illinois 60154 Telephone (708)449-0165 • Fax (708)449-0235 C2 • August 18, 1992 Page 2 • Michael A. Sarro 3. . Prepare an independent analysis of what is proposed including all options for both the City management staff as well as the City Council. This analysis will include a recommendation regarding the specific coverages and options the City should • include in the October 1, 1992 renewal insurance program. As part of this process, we anticipate appearing before the City Council to outline the proposals submitted and answer any questions any of the Council members may have. 4. If the City wishes, we will also review the renewal policies when they are issued to confirm or deny they are in accordance with the proposal that was accepted. As mentioned earlier, I will personally do the work and am very familiar with Elgin's current program of insurance as well as the City's philosophy on insurance matters. I have been involved as an insurance advisor to the City since 1987. Prior to that time, the City's insurance advisor was Steven Coombs. Mr. Coombs is also with Risk Resources and can be considered a backup to advising the City. We charge on an hourly basis for our time with my rate being $170. It is extremely difficult to estimate the total fee we may incur since it will be dependent upon the number of options offered for the renewal. We estimate the total fee to be in the $3,000 to $4,000 range. • We do not anticipate any problems with making a recommendation and appearing at the September 23 City Council meeting. Although it is possible to complete the project by the September 9 City Council meeting, depending on the extent of the negotiations that may be necessary after the initial proposals are submitted, it may be difficult to put together a complete synopsis prior to the September 9 meeting date. I believe I am well qualified to perform this important assignment for the City. I have personally been the City's primary insurance consultant for the past five years. In addition, I have personally handled, not supervised, the following Illinois public entity clients in the past five years. City of Kankakee Village of Mount Prospect City of Park Ridge Village of Winnetka The Chicago Public Building Commission •410 August 18, 1992 Page 3 Michael A.

If necessary, I am available to meet with you and/or the City Council to discuss my qualifications further. I did not include my educational background nor my work history but if you need that, please let me know. Prior to forming Risk Resources, I was associated with CPC for nearly 14 years. I look forward to hearing from you regarding the outcome of the City Council in this important matter. Very truly yours, 1C-) William Leinheiser WL:kk
