YPS Property Proposal 6 1 2023.pdf
Rationale: Award of a general fund contract for Property, Boiler & Machinery Insurance for 2023-2024 to the Travelers Indemnity Company for an annual premium of $1,568,139.00. This is an increase of $232,221.00 or 17.28 % over last year.

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

This is to authorize the administration to award the contract for Property Insurance, (including Boiler, Machinery and Terrorism Insurance) for 2023-24 fiscal year. Proposals were solicited and analyzed by the District's broker, Nausch, Hogan and Murray. Travelers Indemnity Co., the incumbent provider, has provided the most competitive proposal. Besides Travelers, request for proposals were sent to seven other companies, these companies were either not interested in providing a quote or they did not meet coverage requirements.

The increased premium is attributed to an increase in the estimated replacement value of the building stock and contents and to some extent the recent claims history. Taking the increased value into account, the real premium increase is 9.57%.
