Introduction
Aon Risk Consultants, Inc (AGRC) is pleased to submit this proposal to provide services to the City of San Rafael (Client) for
actuarial services for its self-insured workers compensation and liability programs
The goal of our actuarial services is to estimate the outstanding liabilities and project ultimate losses for the upcoming year
Scope of Work
The scope shown below s for work as of December 31, 2019. Specifically, the work will provide
• Estimate Outstanding Losses. Estimate outstanding losses (including allocated loss adjustment expenses [ALAE])
for each fiscal year as of June 30, 2020
• Project Financial Position. Project the financial position as of June 30, 2017 The projected financial position is a
comparison of the estimated outstanding losses with assets available (approximate and unaudited) to meet them
• Project Ultimate Limited Losses. The projected ultimate limited losses are the accrual value of losses with accident
dates in 2020/21 and 2021/22, regardless of report or payment date The amounts are limited to the self-insured
retention
• Recommend Funding. Recommend funding for 2020/21 and 2021/22 The recommended funding is based on the
projected ultimate limited losses and projected expenses.
• Project Losses Paid. The projected losses paid are the claims disbursements during 2020/21 and 2021/22,
regardless of accident or report date. The amounts are limited to the self-insured retention.
These actuarial services will result in the production of the following deliverable:
• The conclusions of our work will be in a written report for the Client. The report will be designed to be easily
understood by non -actuaries It will contain a technical section with sufficient information to support all conclusions
and facilitate future analysis
Project Work Steps
To accomplish the objective, AGRC proposes the following work steps
1 Collect Data — The analysis will require historical loss and exposure data as well as a complete description of the past
and present insurance programs
2 Compile Data — The data received from all services will be compiled and reviewed for reasonableness and
consistency.
3 Perform Analysis — An analysis will be done addressing the items fisted above in "Scope of Services"
4. Draft Report — A report will be written clearly and concisely presenting our conclusions and recommendations
5 Peer Review — A professional peer review of the draft report will be performed by another qualified professional.
6. Distribute Draft Report — The draft report will be distributed and discussed with Client.
7. Corrections and/or Additions - Any items highlighted in discussions of the draft report will be addressed
8 Distribute Final Report — The report will be finalized with signatures affixed
