Workshop Memorandum 18-236



                Date:          October 9, 2018

                From:          Kathryn Hallberg, Implementation Manager

                Subject:       Overview of the Proposed Workers’ Compensation Insurance Policy Renewal


               Yucaipa Valley Water District currently has a workers’ compensation insurance policy with EPIC
               Brokers with insurance coverage provided by Berkshire and Hathaway.

               The District has investigated and requested a variety of quotes.  The District maintains a very
               good safety record that has allowed the broker to obtain multiple competitive quotes.

               The  attached  spreadsheet  details  the  quotes  received.    Redwood  F&C  Berkshire  Hathaway
               submitted a quote for $117,066 and has the strongest rating of A++XV, which is the highest rating
               given and a more than sufficient financial capacity to provide the necessary policy limits.  Cal
               Mutual JPRIMA’s premium quote of $110,290 with a rating of A XII was less than Redwood F&C
               Berkshire Hathaway but requires a 3-year commitment without a guarantee of price locking the
               premium in the following years.


               Financial Consideration

               Funding for the insurance will be split between the Water, Sewer and Recycled Water Funds, [GL
               Account  #xx-5-xx-50019]  Workers  Compensation.    This  expense  is  included  in  the  2018-19
               approved budget.
