Ilorida Leape of Cities
It should be n:cogaized that the Rorida League of Cities is DOt a traditional iDsurer aDd do IlOt c:qjoy the
profeCtion of the Florida IDsurance GaanDtee Fund (FIGA). PIGA is a State .,1i1l.fINal ~lUII tbat iJ
desigocd to IMY the clailDs of iDsuraDce oompuUet tbat become i.IuioMm. While it is bdicvcd IbM the
Florida Lcquc will ~ftlle to pruvide quality inturaDcc for its ~ bavi.ng . traditional iD8Ulef
that bas the added protection of FIGA is pn:fened.
The League propo9C4 two reccntion options. The first option is to rcWn the County's aurc.Dl n:fadicm of
$350,000 for a premium of $369,463. Wben coupled with !be pJOjccrod claim expendioua. an owaaIl
program cost of$I,247,647 is dcveJopcd.
The League also proposed an opcioD with a retention ofS400,OOO. The premium for this option would be
$322,671. If this option were to be selected. the Coonty oouJd expect an cm:rall pIQJJ'IJU <:oSl of
$1,372,685 when the projected claim obIigatiODl arc inclucled.
While the League's S3~O,OOO option prochK:cs aD overa1llower program COlt ($1,247,647), the amwal
premium, which will have to be paid in advaDce, n:pRIeots a men: agJ"ifiNlut portion aftbc overall COlIS
when compared to other alternatives. This produces a higher overall CXlSt5 OIl a MPmal Value" basis. It
is thm:fore recommended tbat the Florida League of Cities' proposals be e1imj........t from further
oonsideration..

Employers ReinsuraMe (Employers Re) proposed the foUowing tbn:e options:
RdeIItioIa Level PrnaIIuD
$500.000 $193533
$600 000 $106.422
$750,000 $80,422
It should be DOled that all three oCEmployers h's proposals 0DIy included per~ limits of S25
million. While this exposes the County to additional cJabn expenditures if a e:ataIUapbic eveDt. ~ to
occur, it i5 believed that the probIbility of Sdcl1 an event is exttel1Idy remote 8IId 1\'81 only sligbtly
fadored in the overall evaluation process.
Wben iDcludiag the projectt.d claim obligations of the County, the Employers Re', $500.000 opIicm
produces the overall ~ cost ($1,257,406 of the tbrce plopoaIs. This is sligbdy more ($9.759) tIum tile
estimated alIl of !be Florida' Leque's $350,000 proposal. Sinc:c. sipri~ ponioD of the CoUDIy's
claim oblipticms will be dderrcd for sevaaI years. the praent ~UIC of the premium. smna:s bc::twcaa the
twO programs makes the EmplOyerS Re's opIioa more att:nIctive.
It is tbcrd'otc ra::ommended thai. Monroe County sded the EmpIoyu's RciDsmaDcc Corpontioa pmposa1
that indudcs a $500,000 self-insured retcnUcm for its 200212003 policy year.

IMPORT ANT DISCLOSURES
The proposal is an outline of the coverages proposed by the insurers, based on the information
provided by your company. It does not include all the terms, coverages, exclusions, limitations,
or conditions of the actual contract language. The policies themselves must be read for those
details. Policy forms for your reference will be made available upon request.
In addition to the fees and/or commissions retained by Arthur J. Gallagher & Co., it is
understood and agreed that other parties, such as excess and surplus lines brokers, wholesalers,
reinsurance intermediaries, underwriting managers, and similar parties, some of which may be
owned in whole or in part by Arthur J. Gallagher & CO.'s corporate parent, may earn and retain
usual and customary commissions and/or fees in the course of providing insurance products.
Any such fees and/or commissions will be the responsibility of client and not Arthur J. Gallagher
&Co.
The information contained in this proposal is based on the historical loss experience and
exposures provided to Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. This proposal is not an actuarial study. Should
you wish to have this proposal reviewed by an independent actuary, we will be pleased to
provide you with a listing of actuaries for your use.
Gallagher from time to time enters into arrangements with certain insurance carriers or those
carriers' reinsurers providing for compensation, in addition to commissions, to be paid by such
carriers or reinsurers to Gallagher or its affiliates based on, among other things, the volume of
premium and/or underwriting profitability ofthe insurance coverages written through Gallagher
by such carriers or reinsurers. In addition, Gallagher and its affiliates provide management and
other services to, and receive compensation for those services from; certain reinsurers that
reinsure insurance coverages written through Gallagher by other insurance carriers. The
insurance coverages your purchase through Gallagher might be issued by an insurance carrier or
reinsured by a reinsurer that has such a relationship with Gallagher or its affiliates.

MONROE COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
INTRODUCTION:
Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. is the County's agent for its current Accidental Death and Disability
and Excess Workers' Compensation/Employers Liability programs. Arthur J. Gallagher & Co.
aggressively marketed the County's coverages to reaffirm that the County is receiving the most
competitive and broadest terms in the market.
MARKETING RESULTS:
EXCESS WORKERS' COMPENSATION:
The Excess Workers' Compensation continues to be a tough market. There are less markets
available with stricter guidelines and less coverage, requiring much more underwriting
information than before. Some markets continue to offer full statutory limits while others have
reduced Coverage A to $10,000,000 or $25,000,000 each accident. Please note in the Marketing
Results the Coverage A limits being offered.
For Monroe County BOCC, we approached the following Excess Workers' Compensation
markets and noted the results of each:
Excess Workers' Com ensation:
ACE-Risk Management AIX Quoted A: Statutory
B: $1,000,000
SIR options of:
1. SIR $350,000/Premium $410,000
2. SIR $500,000/Premium $218,000
3. SIR $l,OOO,OOO/Premium $167,000
