CONTRACT APPROVAL FOR SAFETY CONSULTANT
SERVICES
City Council to consider approval for a professional services contract for Safety
Consulting with Commercial Risk Services.
FUNDING SOURCE:
Funding for this service is available in Professional Service accounts 100-44540-109-1,
200-44540-530-1, 200-44540-530-2, 200-44540-531-1, and 200-44540-531-2 in the
estimated annual amount of $24,000.
A committee made up of Risk Management, Parks & Recreation, and Public Works staff
met with and interviewed proposed Safety Consultants. The committee agreed
unanimously that Commercial Risk Services will provide the best service for the City.
Commercial Risk Services has been in business for 15 years and has extensive
experience working with local governments. Their safety and accident prevention
philosophy is based on employee empowerment and situational awareness, which
follows our current safety program. This contract will be a reduction of about $11,000
annually from FY 2015 and an expanded scope of services.
System Safety International has provided a comprehensive safety program for the
operations staff of the City over the past 15 years. The program has helped reduce on-
the-job accidents, saving the City money in claims and providing our employees with a
safe workplace. The owner of System Safety is retiring and staff would like to contract
with a new safety consultant to continue our safety program with employees.
Staff recommends approval.
