To: Board of Supervisors
From: Karen Caoile, Director of Risk Management
Report Title: Contract with Contra Costa County Schools Insurance Group
☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Director of Risk Management, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Contra Costa County Schools Insurance Group to increase the payment limit by $250,000 to a new payment limit of $902,410 to continue performing medical billing reviews and extend the term through December 31, 2026.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% funded by the Workers’ Compensation Internal Service Fund.
BACKGROUND:
Contra Costa County Schools Insurance Group (CCCSIG) and Contra County Risk Management created a joint partnership public entity in 2003 so that CCCSIG could provide workers’ compensation medical billing reviews for the Workers’ Compensation Unit at a lower annual cost than other providers. The current contract payment limit is $652,410 and expires on December 31, 2025. This contract amendment and extension allow the County to continue receiving the same services while a request for proposals is conducted with County Purchasing and expected to conclude by September 2026.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The County would not be able to maintain compliance with the California Department of Industrial Relations.
