The City entered into a three year contract with a three year renewal option that began on May 1st, 2003 for Risk Management and Insurance Brokerage Services with Arthur J. Gallagher Risk Management Services, Inc. and AON Risk Services, Inc. of Florida after an RFP process. In October of 2008, the City advertised RFP 2008.10.31 - Risk Management & Insurance Brokerage Services for the Property and Casualty Lines of Insurance Coverage. This bid was protested and a decision was made to start the process over and in January of 2009, the City advertised RFP 2009.01.05 - Risk Management & Insurance Brokerage Services for the Property and Casualty Lines of Insurance Coverage.
