the current year while extending coverage for major undertakings such as the Marina Project;

WHEREAS, PRIA insurance consultants were important resources to the City's Safety
Program, and its efforts were factors in the National Council on Compensation Insurance (NCCI)
experience modification rating which remains below 1.0 at a rate of .79, which minimized the

fourth consecutive year and the continuation of its prompt and professional assistance to City
Administration warrants renewal of its services; of paramount importance to the City
