WORKERS' COMPENSATION THIRD PARTY ADMINISTRATION CONTRACT EXTENSION

Recommendation:

That the City Council authorize the City Manager to negotiate an extension with current provider for up to 180 days.

Background:

In accordance with City Council direction, staff has secured proposals from companies that provide Workers' Compensation services. A number of companies have responded and our present provider and one other company have submitted the lower cost proposals. The proposals have not been thoroughly evaluated primarily because we do not have a Personnel Director right now and, as a result, I would like to extend the present contract for 90 days initially. This will allow for the existing cases that are nearing completion to be resolved and the new Personnel Director to be here if and when we change over. There are several high value cases that are in the process of being resolved and it would be best to keep the same team together at least until we have a new director on board. I hope that we will be able to fill the position by mid-July.
