SUBJECT: Approval of Contract for Adjusting Services
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve contract with claims adjusting firm of Gregory B. Bragg and Associates, Inc.
BACKGROUND:
Contracts were negotiated with three additional adjusting firms to handle claims
beyond the capacity of the in-house county liability claims unit; to assist in
pretrial investigations as required under AB 3300 (fast -track trial calendar) ; to
increase selection choices of outside adjusting firms; and to have greater access to
professional expertise for unusual and/or complicated claims.
The contract covers the period of January 1, 1988 to December 31, 1988.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This firm charges less than what is charged by George Hills Company, presently the
only liability claims adjusting service used by the County. Adjusting charges plus
overhead for this firm are $32,00 per hour compared to adjusting charges plus
overhead of $49,52 per hour for George Hills Company. Use of this adjusting firm
will result in reduced claims adjusting charges to the County.
This contract is funded through the liability self-insurance trust funds.
