RE: Professional Services Agreement with USI Insurance Services LLC for Benefit
Consulting Services ($70,452)
BACKGROUND
An RFP was issued on February 18, 2015 and the Council approved Associated Financial Group,
currently known as USI Insurance Services LLC, as the benefit consulting services provider for the City
of Oshkosh with a five (5) year agreement. The original agreement expired as of December 31, 2019.
Thereafter, we entered into a one year agreement for 2020 and the City recommends entering into a one
year agreement in 2021.
ANALYSIS
Over the last six years, USI Insurance Services LLC has been instrumental in assisting the City of Oshkosh
manage health care costs while maintaining a high level of service. Since partnering with USI Insurance
Services LLC, overall health benefit costs have decreased in a market where health costs have been
increasing. Some of this cost trend can be attributed to the implementation of the Three Waves Clinic
which continues to drive employees toward cost effective healthcare solutions, however, the City of
Oshkosh has benefited from the benefit consulting services of USI Insurance Services LLC and will
continue to do so in 2021.
FISCAL IMPACT
The 2021 cost for USI Insurance Services LLC's benefit consulting services is $70.452 which is a zero
percent (0%) increase from 2020. This service will continue to be charged to A/N#: 06010903-6401.
RECOMMENDATION
Chapter 12 of the Municipal Code of the City of Oshkosh provides that professional services of a
specialized nature, including architectural services, may be procured without the use of competitive
bidding or quotation process. In accordance with Section 12-16 of the Code, I am hereby submitting this
report regarding this renewal of services. Please contact me or Human Resources Manager Michelle
Behnke if you have any questions concerning this agreement.
Respectfully Submitted,
Mark A. Rohloff, City Manager
