Over 25 self-insurance proposals were submitted to the County by various brokers and third party administrators. 456 MINUTE BOOK BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WASHINGTON COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA FRANK R MASCARA METRO PETROSKY JR JOSEPH A FORD, COMMISSIONERS _. - __- The County decided to maintain its current coverage with Liberty Mutual because of two primary factors. First, from a pricing standpoint, the Liberty Mutual quote proved to be the best option While two competing self -insured programs offered significant savings, the Liberty Mutual program has the possibility of generating a savings in excess of $180,000.00 for the August 1994-95 policy period. The second key reason for retaining Liberty Mutual centered around the excellent service currently being provided. Dr. Barry Parks, Director of the County Health Center, has been especially effective in working with Liberty Mutual's Loss Prevention Department in the development of loss control and cost containment programs. The County's annual loss experience has been reduced from a high of $485,000.00 in 1991-92 to a low of $125,000.00 during the 1993-94 policy period.
