Rationale: Award of a general fund contract for District Automobile Insurance and Excess Liability Insurance for 2023-24 to Philadelphia Indemnity Insurance Co. in the amount of $193,085.00. This $15,570 or 8.7% 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:

Auto Insurance Coverage is $137,462 which is an increase of $11,962.00 (8%) over a single year.

The Excess Liability Insurance providing another $4 million in coverage in liability is $55,623 which is an increase of $3,608.00 (6.4%)

Term is from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024.

This is to authorize the administration to award the contract for District Automobile Insurance and Excess Liability Insurance for fiscal year 2023-2024. Proposals were garnered and analyzed by the District's broker, Nausch, Hogan and Murray (NHM). Philadelphia Indemnity Insurance Co., 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, NHM requested quotes from CNA, SOMPO International, Allianz, Hanover, Chubb and Applied Underwriters all of whom declined to quote.
