Recommendation Concerning General Liability, and Professional (Medical Malpractice) Insurance for the Jail - Robert Dye, Manager, Risk Management Office
That the Board take the following action concerning insurance for the Escambia County Jail:
A. Approve the payment to USI Insurance Services, LLC, for the combined General Liability - Professional Criminal Justice Service Operations insurance policy written through AB Risk (Wholesale Broker) and issued by Brit Global Specialty USA, for a 13 day extension, effective October 1, 2019, through October 13, 2019, in the amount of $18,263.65, with a $100,000 deductible; and
B. Approve the payment to USI Insurance Services, LLC, for the Professional Liability (Medical Malpractice) Insurance policy written through AB Risk (Wholesale Broker) and issued through Pro-Praxis Insurance and underwritten by certain underwriters at Lloyd’s, London, effective October 1, 2019, through September 30, 2020, in the amount of $193,307, with a $75,000 deductible.
[Funding: Fund 501, Internal Service, Cost Center 140835, Object Code 54501] |
| BACKGROUND: |
Brit Global Specialty confirmed they are completely exiting this line of business via their non-renewal letter dated 08/29/2019. Due to Florida’s 45-day nonrenewal notification requirement, they are required to extend coverage to 12:01 a.m., on October 13, 2019. The additional $18,263.65 premium will be due on October 1, 2019.
The Professional Liability premium increased $7,975, due to market conditions and our claims experience.
Operation of the Escambia County jail under the Board of County Commissioners makes it necessary for the Board to purchase the above-mentioned insurance policies. |
