Fitzgibbons, City Manager FROM: Lisa Colten, Safety & Risk Management Coordinator DATE: August 25, 2010 SUBJECT: Resolution Approving the Renewal of RWL Group Risk Management Service Contract COMMENT RECOMMENDATION: I recommend approval of Proposed Resolution No. 16061 authorizing the renewal of the City's contract with RWL Group for Risk Management Consulting Services at the not to exceed cost of $18,000 for the 2010 -2011 Fiscal Year. This represents essentially a rollover of the existing contract with RWL Group. Two years ago, the hourly rate increased from $175 per hour to $200 per hour, which represented the first hourly rate increase in approximately twenty years. It should be noted that the City expended only $9,536.00 on services from RWL Group during the 2009 -2010 Fiscal Year (through August 25, 2010). BACKGROUND: Mr. Lazarus' first risk management services contract with the City dates back to 1983.

Some of the services provided by Mr. Lazarus and his staff include assisting with claims /lawsuits wherein coverage is in dispute, preparing bid specifications for the City's liability, property and casualty insurance lines, reviewing bids received and subsequently recommending the carrier to provide insurance coverage, assisting with difficult worker's compensation claims, responding to insurance questions from all City departments, etc. Two years ago, RWL Group requested a raise in the hourly rate from $175 per hour to $200 per hour. This was the first increase in the hourly rate in almost twenty years. City staff reviewed and concurred with this reasonable request. BUDGETARY /FISCAL EFFECT: The proposed funding is as follows: General Liability Insurance Fund 612 - 1702 - 581.52 -00 $18,000 There was $18,000 appropriated in the 2010 -2011 Fiscal Budget for Risk Management Services.
