<br /> <br /> <br />City of Everett <br />RFP #2026-001 for Third Party Claims Administrator (TPA) Services <br /> <br /> Annual service <br /> Response to outside financial auditors <br /> Provision of reports to the City’s actuaries and claims auditors <br /> Submission of SSAE 16 reports, or the current equivalent <br /> Account Management <br />Mileage: Adjuster – Mileage is paid at the current IRS rate. <br />MMSEA – Both the one-time setup fee and the annual reporting feeds to offset fees paid directly to <br />ExamWorks. <br />Adjuster Travel Expenses – For mediations, settlement conferences, trials, etc.; subject to prior approval <br />and submitted with receipts. <br />CXP Access Fee – Included in the annual administration fee is the setup and management of five (5) user <br />accounts through our CMIS: CXP. <br />iMetrics Report Fee – There will be no charge for our iMetrics business intelligence reports with executive <br />in-person debriefs. <br />Custom Reports – Additional charged for custom reporting are defined as being client-specific and <br />needing a third-party programmer for three (3) hours or more. <br />Conversion Fees – This fee is intended to cover costs associated with data conversion, transition, and <br />contract closeout. The data conversion fee is dependent on many factors which will need to be discussed. <br />If Intercare is retained for five (5) years, we will entirely absorb the conversion fee. If Intercare is not <br />retained for the full length of the proposed contract, then the client shall be subject to a fee of 20 percent <br />each year not retained, not including shipping, storing, scanning, copying, or otherwise handling open or <br />closed paper claim files (this shall be a separate charge based on the Scope of Work). <br />Intercare will charge for any agreed services related to conversion storage, copying, scanning, shipping, <br />and disposal. <br />Catastrophic Pricing – Applicable only to Fixed Fee and Time And Expense With A Cap Fee agreements. <br />Intercare recognizes that in the event of a catastrophe, additional hours will need to be applied to the <br />handling of such claims. As such, to preserve the quality and efficiency of service for which we are known, <br />Intercare proposes that should a catastrophic event occur resulting in 10 or more claimants or claims from <br />a single occurrence, the client shall be billed at the current hourly rate. <br />Annual Fee Escalator – The Annual Fixed Fee and all hourly rates shall be adjusted at the beginning of <br />each of the remaining years of the term by the lesser of 5%, or in accordance with the changes in the <br />Consumer Price Index (CPI-U) for all Urban Consumers for the Western Region using the most recently <br />published annual percentage change, but in any event such increase shall not be less than 3%. <br />Termination Fee – In the event of contract termination, Intercare’s procedures and cost for run-off claims <br />will be billed at the current hourly rate; no charge for historical loss summaries. We believe that the <br />successful transition of claims requires preparation, so we ask for 90 days’ notice if the contract is <br />terminated without cause to facilitate the transition of claims management properly and efficiently. <br />General File – A general administrative file shall be established and maintained to track effort related to <br />services necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations and not otherwise associated with a claim. <br />Storage – Intercare will charge for any services related to storage, retrieval, copying, scanning, shipping, <br />and disposal of paper files. <br />8
