5. Resolutions

a. Resolution R2024-100—A Resolution Authorizing the Procurement of General Liability Insurance for the DeKalb County Rehab & Nursing Center from Columbia Casualty Company.

On June 26th, the County Board approved the procurement of general liability and worker’s compensation for the County from Counties of Illinois Risk Management Agency. While this policy was inclusive of worker’s compensation insurance for the DCRNC, it did not provide general liability coverage for the business activities of the facility. Staff has engaged with Gallagher Risk Management Services, the same insurance broker that the county utilized previously, to seek proposals for general liability coverage for the DCRNC. After going to market on the County’s behalf, Gallagher has brought forward two proposals for consideration by the County Board. Both proposals include general liability, professional liability, and employee benefits liability coverage for the DCRNC.

The first proposal was submitted by Columbia Casualty Company. Columbia Casualty Company’s proposal has an annual premium of $262,552.00. The deductibles for this proposal.

The second proposal was submitted by Bridgeway Insurance Company. Bridgeway Insurance Company’s proposal has an annual premium of $270,240.00. Under this proposal, the County will need to retain the services of a Third-Party Administrator (TPA) to process claims at an additional expense. The Self Insured Retention (SIR) and Deductibles for this proposal.:

Gallagher Bassett has recommended that the County Board approve the proposal from Columbia Casualty Company with an effective coverage date of October 1, 2024.
