vendors on January 29, 2015. Following reviews of the written proposals and the vendor <br />interviews, the Committee recommended to County Manager Bonnie Hammersley that Arthur J. <br />Gallagher & Co. be selected as the Broker of Record for Orange County. <br />Human Resources Director Brenda Bartholomew and the Manager have conducted follow -up <br />discussions and made contact with other governmental units who are current Arthur J. <br />Gallagher & Co. clients. Based on these discussions and reference checks, the Manager <br />concurs with the Health Advisory Committee's recommendation. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: The current Broker of Record is paid by commission directly by <br />insurance program carriers and also paid a monthly fee by the County. This compensation <br />equates to approximately $72,500 in commission and $23,500 in fees annually for a total of <br />approximately $96,000 in total compensation. If Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. is selected as the <br />County's Broker of Record, the proposed fee schedule is $112,000 in total annual compensation <br />with the same pay structure. As such, the County would experience a cost increase of <br />approximately $16,000 annually. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the <br />recommendation of Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. as the County's Broker of Record for Employee <br />Benefit programs, and authorize the Manager, pending final review by the Human Resources <br />Director and the County Attorney, to sign the contract with Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. and to <br />further authorize the Manager to sign any amendments or renewals thereto. <br />
