Background: The Utilities’ insurance consultant, Aon Risk Solutions (Aon), negotiated an 18 percent premium increase for a renewal premium of $34,623 for primary general liability with Everest National Insurance Company (Everest). The premium includes $215 for terrorism coverage. This policy provides $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate limit with no deductible. The overall premium increased due to operational payroll increases. In addition, Aon negotiated a renewal premium of $161,502 for excess liability with Associated Electric & Gas Insurance Services Limited (AEGIS). AEGIS is a mutual insurer formed by and serving the electric and natural gas utility industry. AEGIS also is offering a continuity credit to its members with 2023 renewals. Fremont’s credit is $11,202, which is deducted from the renewal premium. The premium is subject to a three percent Nebraska surplus lines tax of $4,704. This policy provides $10,000,000 in excess liability insurance. The resulting renewal proposal for the December 31, 2023-2024 coverage period includes a combined premium of $196,125 including surplus lines tax, in comparison to last year’s premium of $175,433. (The comparison does include the surplus lines tax and continuity credit on the excess liability premium.) Staff’s recommendation is to renew the expiring general and excess liability insurance program with Everest and AEGIS in the amount of $196,125. Staff requests that the Utilities and Infrastructure Board recommend to the City of Fremont Mayor and City Council to approve the Department of Utilities general and excess liability insurance renewal for December 31, 2023 to December 31, 2024. Fiscal Impact: Budgeted $196,125 including surplus lines tax.

Proprietary & Confidential 2 Executive Summary Aon Global Power is pleased to present our formal renewal proposal to City of Fremont Department of Utilities for the 2023 – 2024 Primary and Excess Liability program through the Everest & AEGIS alliance, effective December 31st. We are very pleased with the results. The City’s annual premium is now $196,125 vs. $175,433; a 12% YoY premium increase of $20,692 (4% rate decrease). The premium increase is due to the 16% YoY increased operational payroll exposures: 3.175M vs 2.73M expiring. PRIMARY Everest uses the City’s electric and gas operational payroll as the general liability rating basis. Everest’s renewal premium is up 18% (1% rate increase) 35k vs 29k. All policy terms and conditions are per expiring. Everest has new two mandatory forms coming out in 2024. These will be part of the City’s 2024 – 2025 GL renewal. Copies of the new forms are within the Insurer Quotes section of the proposal. o Form ECG 21 901 – PFAS Exclusion o Form ECG 04 1009 – Exclusion Professional Liability EXCESS AEGIS advised its members in late 2022 that in 2023 they would continue seeking rate increases in the 10-15% range from all members and higher for those with loss activity. AEGIS’ renewal premium is up 11% (5% rate decrease): 157k vs 142k expiring. There are a handful of new terms and conditions for your review. And an option to reduce the premium by 4k. AEGIS introduced their form changes in 2023. Most impactful include changes to the Failure to Supply Language. Also, they are now sub-limiting PFAS Liability with a separate 5M aggregate. The underwriter presented an option for the City’s review: 4k reduction of the annual premium to accept an absolute PFAS liability exclusion. PFAS Defines the term “PFAS LIABILITY” as BODILY INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE and PERSONAL INJURY which arises out of the actual or alleged presence or use of PFAS or PFAS containing materials or substances. Defines the term “PFAS” as perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, including: • perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA); • perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS); • perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA); • hexafluoropropylene oxide dimer acid (HFPO-DA, commonly known as GenX Chemicals); • perfluorohexane sulfonic acid (PFHxS); • perfluorobutane sulfonic acid (PFBS); • fluorinated polymers, including fluoropolymers, perfluoropolyethers and side-chain- fluorinated polymers, such as chloro-perfluoro-polyether carboxylate (ClPFPECA), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), and fluorinated ethylene-propylene (FEP); and • associated homologues, isomers, salts, esters, alcohols, acids, precursors, daughters, derivatives, or by-products of the substances listed in (a) through (g) above. Proprietary & Confidential 3 Failure To Supply 2 new FTS forms were added. The first is blanket for regulated utilities (not specifically scheduled) and the second is for the non-regulated. The latter specifically schedules Costco and the Redevelopment Agreement. • Restricts Failure to Supply coverage to Bodily Injury and Property Damage. Removes Personal Injury coverage under Failure to Supply • Restricts coverage for Failure to Supply claims to REGULATED UTILITY class only – this removes coverage for a non-regulated power generator, transmission line operator, co-operative and others  provides blanket coverage where regulated (not specifically scheduled) • Restricts coverage for Failure to Supply claims to power generation supplied for liability arising out of the written contract or agreement  provides coverage specifically for Costco (not regulated) as per the Redevelopment Agreement • Reduces required percentage of supply from 110% to 100% • Excludes coverage for losses that arise from a NATURAL HAZARD • However, provides $1M sublimit for defense costs related to FAILURE TO SUPPLY LIABILITY claims for all members, and this would include claims related to NATURAL HAZARD events. Note, AEGIS may consider a higher sublimit for an additional charge. Defines the term REGULATED UTILITY as: The term “REGULATED UTILITY”, as used in the Exclusion, means an INSURED: (1) who provides energy producing fuel, including natural gas or propane; electricity; steam; water; or telecommunication service to end-users for consumption; and (2) who owns the means to distribute or deliver the energy producing fuel, including natural gas or propane; electricity; steam; water; or telecommunication service; and (3) whose rates are subject to approval, rejection, or modification by one or more governmental entities. Defines the term NATURAL Hazard as: The term “NATURAL HAZARD”, as used in this Exclusion, means a natural event, including those involving avalanche, coastal flooding, cold, drought, earthquake, hail, heat, hurricane, ice storm, landslide, lightning, riverine flooding, wind, tornado, tsunami, volcanic activity, wildfire, and winter weather. Joint Venture Definition There is a new definition for Joint Venture. The new definition expands the definition to clarify that LLC’s or other formally organized corporations are not considered JV’s. JOINT VENTURE: The term "JOINT VENTURE" means any for-profit relationship for a common purpose in which the participants have a community of interest and right to share in the control of the manner of performance and where the participants have joint and several liability. SUBSIDIARIES, as well as other formally organized corporations and limited liability entities, are not JOINT VENTURES. City of Fremont does not purchase Excess EPL; however here is the change to the EPL form Employment Practices Liability Endorsement It broadens the term DEFINITION to include additional protected classes: marital status, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, genetic information, veteran status. A formal definition of CLAIMANT is added and there were multiple clerical changes made throughout the form. Proprietary & Confidential 4 Notably item (F) removes reference to the insurability of punitive damages. AEGIS confirmed punitive damage awards will remain insurable where allowed by law based on the standard policy form. This term was removed to prevent lawsuits or claims that punitive damages should be insurable based on where AEGIS is domiciled. Within this proposal you will find our detailed premium and coverage analysis’ as well as the insurer’s quotes and binding subjectivities. After your review we are available to discuss anything contained within in more detail. On behalf of all of us here at Aon, we want to thank you for your business and continued trust in us to service your insurance and risk transfer needs.

For policy level commissions, Aon endeavors to receive compensation using standard commission rates by line of business that we seek to achieve with insurers in advance of individual policy placements. We believe this creates a fairer marketplace among insurers and allows our insurers to focus on the client’s needs and risk history, not on commission rate negotiation. In turn, because insurers will be evaluated on their capabilities, clients will be able to more easily compare quotes. Aon’s standard commission rates differ by line of business and, when placed in the U.S. market, are up to the following commission rates: Aviation, 17.5%; Casualty, 18.5%; Cyber, 17.5%; Energy, 20%; Entertainment, 20%; Environmental, 18%; Marine 20%; Med Mal/ Healthcare, 17.5%; Professional/ E&O,17.5%; Property, 18%; Product Recall, 20%; Financial Lines, 18%; Healthcare, 20%; Surety, 35%; Terrorism, 25%; Trade Credit, 17.5%; and Workers Compensation, 15%. Where an Aon broker is placing a policy in the London or Bermuda market, Aon endeavors to earn 20% on those lines of business. Where Aon has created a facility with proprietary terms and conditions negotiated, the Aon standard commission rates range from 20% – 22.5%. Some lines of business are not conducive to standardization because they are subject to state filing regulations, state-specific rates and/or industry-specific rates. The standard commission rates we achieve do not include program business (e.g., franchises, sponsored groups) or large deductible programs. In addition, Aon provides certain administrative and other related placement services to markets. Compensation of up to 7.5% for these services may take the form of a national additional commission (NAC) or a subscription market brokerage (SMB). Collecting these commissions will not change the premium quoted. Compensation paid to Aon may vary based upon a number of factors, including the insurance contract and the insurer you select, the volume of business and/or profitability of business we place with each insurer. Therefore, Aon may be considered to have an incentive to place insurance coverages with a particular insurance company. We strive for transparency with each Client and the final decision regarding coverage and market options is the Client’s decision. If you are interested in receiving Aon’s standard commission grid and/or a Commission Disclosure Report identifying the individual commission rates on your placements or compensation expected to be received based in whole or in part on any alternative quotes, ask your Account Executive or write us at aon.us.broking@aon.com.
