RE: Recommendation of Community Insurance Corporation/Marsh & McLellan
It is my recommendation that the winning proposal for coverage in the areas of: Municipal
Liability which includes Employment Practices and Auto, Crime, Property, Cyber, and Self-
funded Workers Compensation for calendar year 2023 be awarded to Community Insurance
Corporation and Marsh & McLellan Agency.
Introduction:
The City of Superior’s Finance Department has received liability, worker’s
compensation, and property insurance proposals from two insurance agencies, Spectrum
Insurance Group, who submitted proposals from the League of Wisconsin Municipalities
Mutual Insurance (LWM) for the liability and self-funded worker’s compensation
coverage and Municipal Property Insurance Company (MPIC), the City of Superior’s
current property insurer, and Marsh & McLellan Agency (MMA), who submitted a
proposal from Community Insurance Corporation (CIC) for the liability, self-funded
worker’s compensation, and property insurance. A comparison was done by the Finance
Department with these two agencies and respective insurance companies along with the
City’s current insurance company, Cities and Villages Mutual Insurance Company
(CVMIC), who is the insurance company for the 2022 liability and fully insured workers
compensation. As MPIC is the current insurance company for the City of Superior, the
LWM did not quote this coverage in their proposal, but it would port to LWM.
Background:
The Finance Committee asked the Finance Department to conduct a search to obtain
proposals from insurance companies as the same insurance company, CVMIC, has been
renewed year after year without going to market for 35 years. Finance located two
insurance companies, LWM and CIC, who were interested in submitting proposals for
1
liability, worker’s compensation (both fully insured and self-funded options were
evaluated, but ultimately, the self-funded option was chosen as the better option and
included in each of their proposals), and property coverage.
The Finance Committee has had several meetings over the course of at least a year with
all three insurance companies – LWM, CIC, and CVMIC. The last meeting in which all
three presented information was on July 12th, 2022.
Supporting Information:
Based on information presented at the Finance Committee Meetings and included on the
respective proposals submitted be each company/agency, it became clear that the self-
funded workers compensation was a much better option for the City of Superior as there
was opportunity for significant savings. All three insurers agreed at the July 12th, 2022
presentation that the self-funded workers compensation option would generate significant
savings to the City of Superior based upon an analysis of the City’s past loss run. While
CVMIC does offer self-funded workers compensation, CVMIC’s has a $500,000 self-
insured retention whereas both CIC and LWM do offer a $100,000 self-insured retention.
Because of the $500,000 self-insured retention, CVMIC has been eliminated from
consideration and the City was left to only consider the remaining two companies - LWM
and CIC.
Additionally, both the LWM and CIC have chosen to bundle the self-funded workers
compensation together with the liability and property insurance. CVMIC did give us the
option to keep the liability and property insurance and only move the workers
compensation to a new company, but this is not an option with either the LWM or CIC as
both have bundled all coverages together. This means that in order to bind coverage the
City of Superior is forced to choose all or nothing.
A comparison was made of all three insurance companies. Particular care was given
during the analysis to try to align the coverages so an apples to apples comparison could
be made. Past loss runs were used to determine the average cost of workers
compensation to the City while insured through CVMIC. The average cost paid by the
City is $136,440.94 which was added to the administrative cost of the self-funding
workers compensation to both LWM and CIC total premium.
Additionally, if a savings could be recognized, these were deducted from each of the total
cost of the premiums. If there was a cost to maintain a policy as it was not covered in the
proposal or the City has current coverage other than CVMIC, this cost was also added to
the comparison. An example of this is the airport insured by Aerospace Insurance
Services, Inc. with the Holden Agency. The cost was added to both CIC and CVMIC as
the City would need to retain this insurance coverage. As the airport coverage generated
savings through LWM, this savings was deducted from the LWM’s total premium.
Lastly, if 2023 premium rates were not available, it was noted on the comparison that the
actual 2022 premium rates were used instead.
2
If the coverage was optional, this was not added to the total unless it was included in the
cost of the general liability by an insurance company. Then, the optional coverage cost
was added to try maintain the apples to apples comparison. Conversely, if an insurance
company was the only one with the optional coverage, this was excluded from the
premium total.
Throughout this process, the City ensured transparency with all insurance
companies/agencies. All three companies received all proposals. All were in attendance
at each of the Finance Committee presentations. Lastly, all three received the
comparison and were asked to expand, change or add any detail to the comparison.
The final total cost for each were as follows:
CVMIC/MPIC $855,165.00
MMA/CIC $693,214.94
LWM/Spectrum Insurance $676,060.94
Recommendation:
Although Community Insurance Corporation with Marsh & McLellan Agency were not
the low bidder, the City of Superior can choose a higher bidder if it can be justified. The
following list are the factors which justify my recommendation of CIC and Marsh &
McLellan Agency:
1. The Municipal Liability has an aggregate of the deductible of $150,000 whereas
LWM does not have aggregate protection.
2. The per occurrence limit was double the amount at $500,000 for cyber coverage
through CIC. The LWM’s occurrence limit for cyber coverage was $250,000.
3. The opportunity for additional savings is greater through CIC.
4. Marsh and McLellan Agency also has performed services for the City in the past
with a highly satisfactory level of accuracy, efficiency and responsiveness.
It is my recommendation that the Finance Committee accept the proposal to insure for calendar
year 2023 the City of Superior in the following areas: Municipal Liability which includes
Employment Practices and Auto, Crime, Property, Cyber, and Self-funded Workers
Compensation.

Terrorism Risk Insurance Act
Effective November 26, 2002, Terrorism coverage provided by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of
2002 (TRIA) was made available in your policy(ies). In 2007, the federal government signed the
version that was passed by the Senate and House. The bill eliminates the distinction between foreign
and domestic acts of terrorism and otherwise keeps the program in tact under roughly its current terms
through December 31, 2027.
The premium charged for the terrorism coverage is outlined below:
COVERAGE PREMIUM
Property Included
Municipal Liability Pending Confirmation
Inland Marine Included
Workers’ Compensation (Cannot reject coverage) Pending Confirmation
► With the exception of Workers’ Compensation, the Act gives you the right to reject the offer of
terrorism coverage. You may waive such coverage by signing a written statement.
(See Affirmation Waiver from insurance company.)
► The Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act (TRIPRA) retains most of the
provisions of the original program, however, the following coverages are not included under the
federal program.
o Commercial Automobile, Garage Liability, Dealer’s Blanket, Professional Liability
Surety/Crime, Burglary & Theft and Farm Owner’s Multi-Peril.
NOTE:
► Actual coverage provided by your policy for acts of terrorism, as defined in the Terrorism Insurance
Act of 2015 are limited by the terms, conditions, exclusions, limits, other provisions of your policy,
and/or any endorsements to the policy and are subject to applicable laws.

City of Superior 2022-2023 Business Insurance Proposal
Minimum Earned & Deposit Premiums
We are providing clarification of the following terms as they are often misunderstood.
Minimum and Deposit
This is the amount of premium due at inception. Although the policy is “ratable” that is, subject to
adjustment based on a rate per exposure unit, under no circumstances will the annual earned premium
be less than the minimum premium. In other words, the policy may generate an additional premium on
audit, but not a return.
If such a policy is cancelled mid-term, the earned premium is the greater of the annual minimum
multiplied by the short rate or pro-rate factor, or the actual earned as determined by audit, subject to a
short rate penalty if applicable.
Minimum Earned Premium
A minimum earned premium endorsement can be attached to either a flat charge policy or an
adjustable policy. In either case, this amount is the least that will be retained by the carrier once the
policy goes into effect. The amount retained would be the greater of the actual earned premium
whether calculated on a pro-rate or short-rate basis, or the minimum earned premium.
Flat Cancellations
Surplus lines carriers almost never allow flat cancellations. Once the policy is in effect, some premium
will be earned.

Credit Policy
Marsh & McLennan Agency strives to offer the highest quality of service at the most competitive price
possible. Accordingly, we have the following credit policy in place to assure that your coverage is not
interrupted during the policy term.
All premiums are due on the invoice date or effective date of the insurance, whichever is later.
Always submit the remittance copy with your payment. If a remittance copy is not submitted, we
will apply the cash to the oldest item on the account. Also, credit memos that cannot be applied
against the original invoice will be applied to the oldest items on the account unless you direct
us otherwise.
If installment payments are available and provided under insurance policy terms, you will
receive an invoice for each installment. Installments are due on the effective date of the invoice.
Marsh & McLennan Agency does not finance annual or installment premiums. However, should
you wish to finance your premium, we can place your financing with an approved insurance
premium finance company.
Your Service Team maintains the on-line access to all of your coverage, premium and accounting detail
and will be able to answer most billing questions. Any other questions will be referred directly to our
accounting department for immediate response. We thank you for your support and business.

Compensation Disclosure & Limitation of Liability
Marsh & McLennan Agency LLC (“MMA”) prides itself on being an industry leader in the area of
transparency and compensation disclosure. We believe you should understand how we are paid for
the services we are providing to you. We are committed to compensation transparency and to
disclosing to you information that will assist you in evaluating potential conflicts of interest.
As a professional insurance producer, MMA and its subsidiaries facilitate the placement of insurance
coverage on behalf of our clients. As an independent insurance agent, MMA may have authority to
obligate an insurance company on behalf of our clients and as a result, we may be required to act
within the scope of the authority granted to us under our contract with
the insurer. In accordance with industry custom, we are compensated either through commissions that
are calculated as a percentage of the insurance premiums charged by insurers, or fees agreed to with
our clients.
MMA engages with clients on behalf of itself and in some cases as agent on behalf of its non-US
affiliates with respect to the services we may provide. For a list of our non-US affiliates, please visit:
https://mma.marshmma.com/non-us-affiliates. In those instances, MMA will bill and collect on behalf of
the non-US Affiliates amounts payable to them for placements made by them on your behalf and remit
to them any such amounts collected on their behalf.
MMA receives compensation through one or a combination of the following methods:
Retail Commissions – A retail commission is paid to MMA by the insurer (or wholesale broker)
as a percentage of the premium charged to the insured for the policy. The amount of
commission may vary depending on several factors, including the type of insurance product sold
and the insurer selected by the client.
Client Fees – Some clients may negotiate a fee for MMA’s services in lieu of, or in addition to,
retail commissions paid by insurance companies. Fee agreements are in writing, typically
pursuant to a Client Service Agreement, which sets forth the services to be provided by MMA,
the compensation to be paid to MMA, and the terms of MMA’s engagement. The fee may be
collected in whole, or in part, through the crediting of retail commissions collected by MMA for
the client’s placements.
Contingent Commissions – Many insurers agree to pay contingent commissions to insurance
producers who meet set goals for all or some of the policies the insurance producers place with
the insurer during the current year. The set goals may include volume, profitability, retention
and/or growth thresholds. Because the amount of contingent commission earned may vary
depending on factors relating to an entire book of business over the course of a year, the
amount of contingent commission attributable to any given policy typically will not be known at
the time of placement.
25
City of Superior 2022-2023 Business Insurance Proposal
Compensation Disclosure & Limitation of Liability
Supplemental Commissions – Certain insurers and wholesalers agree to pay supplemental
commissions, which are based on an insurance producer’s performance during the prior year.
Supplemental commissions are paid as a percentage of premium that is set at the beginning of
the calendar year. This percentage remains fixed for all eligible policies written by the insurer
during the ensuing year. Unlike contingent commissions, the amount of supplemental
commission is known at the time of insurance placement. Like contingent commissions, they
may be based on volume, profitability, retention and/or growth.
Wholesale Broking Commissions – Sometimes MMA acts as a wholesale insurance broker.
In these placements, MMA is engaged by a retail agent that has the direct relationship with the
insured. As the wholesaler, MMA may have specialized expertise, access to surplus lines
markets, or access to specialized insurance facilities that the retail agent does not have. In
these transactions, the insurer typically pays a commission that is divided between the retail and
wholesale broker pursuant to arrangements made between them.
Other Compensation & Sponsorships – From time to time, MMA may be compensated by
insurers for providing administrative services to clients on behalf of those insurers. Such
amounts are typically calculated as a percentage of premium or are based on the number of
insureds. Additionally, insurers may sponsor MMA training programs and events.
We will be pleased to provide you additional information about our compensation and information about
alternative quotes upon your request. For more detailed information about the forms of compensation
we receive please refer to our Marsh & McLennan Agency Compensation Guide at
https://www.marshmma.com/us/compensation-guide.html.
MMA’s aggregate liability arising out of or relating to any services on your account shall not exceed ten
million dollars ($10,000,000), and in no event shall we be liable for any indirect, special, incidental,
consequential or punitive damages or for any lost profits or other economic loss arising out of or
relating to such services. In addition, you agree to waive your right to a jury trial in any action or legal
proceeding arising out of or relating to such services. The foregoing limitation of liability and jury waiver
shall apply to the fullest extent permitted by law.
