RECOMMENDATION: City Council to consider the renewal of an annual contract for safety
consultant services with Commercial Risk Services, Inc. for the Risk
Department.
FUNDING SOURCE: Funds for this purchase are available in account 100-44540-109-001

BACKGROUND: In 2016, the City Council approved a contract with Commercial Risk
Services to provide safety consulting services in the areas of education,
compliance and best practice training.
This program is a best practice for risk management. Specific areas of
focus include: electrical, personal protective equipment, heat stress
awareness, back safety, hazard communications, driving, heavy
equipment, trips and falls. The program is dynamic and will respond as
other topics become necessary due to experience or regulatory changes.
A committee made up of Risk Management, Parks and 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. The safety consultant services
contract was for one year with four optional, one year renewals. If
approved, this will be the final renewal.
Staff recommends approval.
