Appendix_A_Sample_MA_and_Exhibits.pdf

This document is a sample Master Agreement (MA) and exhibits provided by the County of Los Angeles, Chief Executive Office for the Insurance Brokers Program RFSQ. The sample MA outlines the contractual framework and terms that successful vendors will be required to execute. The agreement establishes the fundamental relationship between the County and selected insurance brokers who will provide comprehensive insurance brokerage services to support risk management needs across all County departments. The MA includes standard provisions regarding insurance categories, scope of services, performance expectations, and administrative requirements. The document serves as a template for qualified vendors to understand the contractual obligations and conditions they will assume upon award. The exhibits attached to the sample MA provide supplementary information, specifications, and detailed requirements that further define the services to be rendered and the operational standards brokers must maintain.

The sample MA establishes the legal and operational framework governing the relationship between the County and awarded insurance brokers, including provisions for indemnification, insurance coverage requirements, liability limitations, and compliance obligations. The agreement addresses administrative matters such as invoicing procedures, payment terms, record-keeping requirements, and County audit rights. The exhibits contain specifications for broker qualifications, service delivery standards, and performance metrics that vendors must meet throughout the contract term. The document does not specify pricing structures within the MA itself, as pricing is typically evaluated separately through the RFSQ process. The sample agreement serves as a critical reference document for prospective bidders to assess contractual obligations, identify any concerns or requirements for negotiation, and ensure their organizations can comply with all terms and conditions prior to submitting their statements of qualifications.
