WHEREAS, the City of Dania Beach (the "City") currently obtains its comprehensive

package and Workers' Compensation coverage for one (1) year beginning October 1, 2013
through September 30, 2014, at a cost of approximately$805,486.00; and
WHEREAS, PRIA insurance consultants were important resources to the City's Safety
Program, which efforts were factors in the National Council on Compensation Insurance (NCCI)
experience modification rating reduction from .83 to .77, which minimized the City's Workers'
Compensation insurance premium; and
WHEREAS, PRIA's ability to extend a renewal offer with a reduction for a third
consecutive year and its provision of insurance consultants who continue to render insurance

insurance coverage extension offered by PRIA; and
WHEREAS, Administration has determined that PRIA has provided and continues to
provide a responsive and responsible level of care and customer service to the City of Dania

restraints which resulted due to Administration's concerted efforts to modify the City's
healthcare plans; and
WHEREAS, Administration therefore recommends that the Commission waive bidding
and authorize renewal with PRIA for the coming fiscal year beginning October 1, 2013;
