Title
Authorizing the Mayor to enter into an agreement for third-party administration (TPA) services for the City of Toledo’s Workers’ Compensation Program; authorizing the expenditure of an amount not to exceed $99,900 annually for said purpose from the Workers’ Compensation Fund; and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
The City sought competitive proposals for TPA services for the workers’ compensation program from May 24th through June 11th, 2024. Three (3) proposals were submitted, by the following companies: Sedgwick Management Services, Inc. (Sedgwick), Sheakley Uniservice, Inc., and Vassar & Associates, LLC. The City has chosen Sedgwick as the best bid for providing TPA services for its workers’ compensation program due to Sedgwick’s local presence, their experience with other Ohio public sector employers, both regionally and statewide, and their group retrospective rating program.
