Explanation

BACKGROUND:

Need: The Division of Police needs to modify and extend the contract for the third year for hull insurance (property damage and liability insurance) for its six MD 500E helicopters. Since the cost of the new helicopters exceeds 1 million dollars 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. NationAir Insurance Agencies was awarded the contract and the Division of Police is exercising the renewal option for the third and final year at the same pricing.

Contract Compliance No: 43-1188120 Expires 02/05/2010

Emergency Designation: Emergency legislation is requested so insurance can be put into effect as soon as possible. Current insurance expires February 9, 2008.

FISCAL IMPACT: $183,500.00 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. The first year of this contract in 2006, $170,208.00 was expended. The second year in 2007, $160,317.00 was expended.
