RESOLUTION NO. 2008-137
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CHULA VISTA WAIVING THE FORMAL CONSULTANT
SELECTION PROCESS AND APPROVING THE FIRST
AMENDMENT TO THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY
OF CHULA VISTA AND TRIST AR RISK MANAGEMENT
FOR THIRD-PARTY ADMINISTRATION OF THE CITY'S
WORKERS' COMPENSATION CLAIMS
WHEREAS, TRlST AR Risk Management (TRlST AR) has administered the City of
ChuIa Vista's workers' compensation claims since 1985; and
WHEREAS, in 2002, the City solicited proposals for third-party claims administration
services; and
WHEREAS, as a result of that solicitation, the City entered into a one-year contract with
TRIST AR with a provision for five, one-year extensions; and
WHEREAS, the City has exhausted the extensions included in the existing agreement;
and
WHEREAS, the City has been extremely satisfied with the services provided by
TRISA TR and staff believes it is highly unlikely the City would find a firm able to provide the
same level of service at a price that would justifY the additional expense of changing
administrators (transferring data bases, system/process development) nor the disruption of
service/care of our employees, especially during these times of fiscal uncertainty and limited
resources; and
WHEREAS, due to the cost (financial and operational) of changing vendors, staff
recommends that it is in the best interest of the City that the competitive bid process for this
contract be waived so the contract with TRIST AR can be amended to extend the contract for an
additional one-year period; and
WHEREAS, staff will commence the Request For Proposal process in March 2009 for
services going forward.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Chula
Vista does hereby waive the formal consultant selection process and approve the First
Amendment to the Agreement between the City of Chula Vista and TRlST AR Risk Management
for third-party administration of the City's workers' compensation claims.
