18-077 - Insurance Brokerage Services

The El Paso County Department of Human Resources & Risk Management (County) is seeking proposals from licensed, qualified insurance firms to provide brokerage services to assist the County in obtaining various commercial coverages ranging from workers’ compensation to general liability.
 
Although the County is self-insured, it still relies upon commercial insurance to provide protection over and above its self-insured retention (SIR) level on some lines of coverage.  The County has an agreement with third party administrator for its workers compensation claims processing; Liability and Property claims are adjusted in-house. In order to make payment on claims within its SIR and deductible, the County retains a self-insurance fund and a worker’s compensation fund.
