Ccrfp for claims administration excess liability

The New Jersey Municipal Excess Liability Joint Insurance Fund (NJMEL) is conducting a Competitive Contracting Request for Proposals (CCRFP) for claims administration services for its Excess Liability program, targeting qualified firms to manage complex municipal liability claims. The procurement specifically seeks a service provider to administer claims for Excess Property, Excess General Liability, Police Professional Liability, Excess Auto Liability, Fidelity and Crime Losses, and Statutory Bond Program claims across Morris County. The contract period will span from January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2028, with proposals due on November 12, 2025, at 10:00 A.M. Proposals will be evaluated using a 50-point system, with 25 points allocated to technical criteria, 15 points for managerial considerations, and 10 points for cost. Key objectives include overseeing claims handling, investigation, evaluation, and resolution, ensuring timely reporting and compliance with statutory requirements. Proposers must demonstrate expertise in managing high-value municipal liability claims and provide comprehensive claims management capabilities.

While no specific set-aside designations are mentioned, proposers must submit mandatory documentation including a Vendor Information Sheet, Business Registration Certificate, and various compliance forms. The Fund requires the selected vendor to maintain specific insurance coverages, notably Cyber/Privacy Liability with $1,000,000 per claim and aggregate, and meet detailed cybersecurity requirements. The Fund is tax-exempt and does not guarantee minimum purchase amounts, with pricing for the 2026 fund year required and options for 2027 and 2028 pricing or potential fee adjustments. Though a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the claims administration services suggests a significant contract value. The procurement appears open to qualified firms with demonstrated expertise in municipal liability claims management, with no apparent restrictions limiting participation based on organizational type or size.
