Chase County approves 2026 workers' compensation bid at $59,994
Summary
The county commissioners reviewed two bids for workers' compensation and voted to award the 2026 contract to the lower (named in transcript as K Work) bid of $59,994; no dissent was recorded.
During routine procurement review on Nov. 17, Chase County commissioners considered two bids for the county's 2026 workers' compensation coverage. Speaker 1 read bid figures and asked the bidders to confirm the terms; county staff noted bid identifiers and discussed premium structure.
Speaker 1 moved to award the workers' compensation contract to K Work for $59,994 for 2026; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. The transcript records the motion as: "I'll make a motion that we go with the K work for $59,994 for our workman's comp compensation funds for Chase County for 2026." Commissioners recorded "Aye," and the motion carried.
Meeting discussion included clarification that the quoted premium would not necessarily increase with additional claims unless claims reached an unusually high level; bidders and staff discussed payroll amount basis for premium calculations. No further conditions, performance guarantees or insurance vendor contract numbers were specified in the transcript.
Next steps: award recorded in meeting minutes; contracting and binding by the county's procurement process would follow (not recorded in the transcript).
