DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION

1) Make findings that it is more economical and feasible to contract out for insurance certificate collection and monitoring services in accordance with Ordinance 3.12.030;
2) Approve the continuation of perpetual Agreement No. 237-S1611 with CSAC-EIA for the provision of CSAC-EIA’s contract with Ebix RCS for insurance certificate collection and monitoring services; and

DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
On December 15, 2015, the Board approved Agreement 237-S1611 with Ebix BPO for insurance certificate tracking. This agreement replaced and superseded Agreement 324-S1311 executed on August 5, 2014. We are now asking the Board to approve the continuation of this agreement along with the rate increase per the terms of the agreement. Per Section B-1.5 of the original agreement, each January an increase based on CPI will be added to the fee schedule. There was no fee increase implementated in 2016; this increase reflects the CPI changes for 2016 and 2017 per the terms of the agreement.
Following Board approval, the Risk Management Division of the Human Resources Department will work with Procurement and Contracts to increase the blanket purchase order to issue quarterly payments for subsequent fiscal year.
