Director's and Officers'/Employment Practices Liability Insurance Broker

The Dormitory Authority of the State of New York (DASNY) intends to procure insurance broker services for its Directors’ & Officers’/Employment Practices Liability (D&O/EPL) insurance programs, pursuant to its discretionary purchasing authority under Public Authorities Law Section 2879. This opportunity is intended solely for certified MWBEs, as defined pursuant to Article 15-A of the New York State Executive Law.

DASNY intends to enter in to a contractual agreement with a broker of record who will be responsible for marketing, policy/claims administration and related services associated with DASNY’s Directors’ & Officers’/Employment Practices Liability (D&O/EPL) insurance program.  The current program will expire on November 1, 2018.  DASNY is interested in renewing/replacing that coverage and learning about alternative market approaches that will provide comprehensive and cost efficient insurance protection for DASNY’s exposures.   

Interested firm/team must possess: (1) valid and current New York State Property & Casualty Insurance Broker’s license, (2) minimum of 2 years of brokerage experience marketing, binding, and supporting D&O/EPL insurance programs for clients with 350+ employees in a union environment or operations that do not fit a single-industry description, (3) ability to access markets minimally rated “A-“ (A.M. Best) with capacity to bind $50M program limits, (4) experience within the past five years for at least three clients similar to DASNY in size and risk exposure performing risk identification and coverage/limits/loss/pricing analyses for client(s) similar in size and risk exposure to DASNY, (5) employ key staff assigned to this project who possess thorough knowledge of their area(s) of expertise and a minimum of five years working experience marketing/negotiating insurance coverage or seven years claims experience; (6) certified by New York State Department of Economic Development as an MBE/WBE/MWBE.
