Explanation

BACKGROUND:

Need: The Division of Police needs to purchase hull Insurance (property damage and liability insurance) for its six MD 500E helicopters. Since the cost of the new helicopters is approximately 1 million each, it is critical that insurance be purchased to protect the City's investment.

Bid Information: The Division of Police advertised formally bids for helicopter insurance. SA001844, Helicopter Insurance was opened December 12, 2005. Two responses were received. AON Risk Services was $180,228.00 with a profit commission of $16,788.00 and NationAir Insurance Agencies was $170,208.00 with a profit commission of $15,265.00. Both companies met all the requirements in the bid specifications. A contract should be awarded to NationAir Insurance Agencies as the lowest, most responsive, responsible bidder.

Contract Compliance No: 43-1188120

Emergency Designation: Emergency legislation is requested so insurance can be put into effect as soon as possible. Current insurance expires February 8, 2006.

FISCAL IMPACT: $185,000.00 is budgeted in the Police's General Fund budget for helicopter insurance. With the renewable discount, no claims bonus, there should be a surplus in this object.
