Yonkers Public Schools Automobile Proposal 5 29 2024 Amended.pdf
 
Rationale:
Philadelphia Indemnity Insurance Company
Term: 365 calendar days
Amount: $267,786.00
Scope: Award of a general fund contract for District Automobile Insurance and Excess Liability Insurance for 2024-2025 to Philadelphia Indemnity Insurance Company in the amount of $267,786.00. This is $19,078 or 7.65% higher than last year. Reportedly, this is due to an increase in the number of claims and a high loss ratio.

The above is comprised of the two following components:

Primary Auto Insurance Coverage is $217,831.00 which is an increase of $11,962.00 (8%) over a single year.

The Excess Liability Insurance providing another $4 million in liability coverage is $49,955.00 (Including TRIA), which is a decrease (10.19%) from last years $55,623.00.

Term is from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025.

This is to authorize the administration to award the contract for District Automobile Insurance and Excess Liability Insurance (Including TRIA) for fiscal year 2024-2025. Proposals were garnered and analyzed by the District's broker, Nausch, Hogan and Murray (NHM). Philadelphia Indemnity Insurance Company, the incumbent provider, has submitted the most advantageous proposal maintaining expiring conditions which combine primary and excess policies with limits $1,000,000 and $4,000,000 (total limit $5,000,000) respectively. The quote also takes into consideration claims made during last year and claims that were reopened which date back to several years.

In addition to Philadelphia Indemnity Insurance Company, NHM requested quotes from Zurich, who could not meet all of our requirements, CNA Insurance and SOMPO International, both of whom declined to quote.
