ATH-INSURE-FY17

Stephen F. Austin State University solicited competitive proposals to provide athletic excess insurance coverage for the 2017‑2018 university athletic season. After a formal evaluation, EbenConcepts was awarded the contract to deliver the required insurance program, which includes excess coverage, claims management, reporting, risk‑management services, and optional plan designs. The contract runs from August 1 2017 to August 1 2018, with the possibility of up to four additional one‑year extensions. Historical premiums for the program have averaged around $35,000 with administrative fees of $25,000, indicating a modest‑sized insurance procurement. • Scope: Provide excess insurance, claims administration, web‑based reporting, and risk‑management services for all intercollegiate student‑athletes and related personnel. • Evaluation: Six weighted criteria (premiums/cost, claims record, insurer qualifications, reporting, coverage limits, added value) totaling 100 %. • Vendor: EbenConcepts (sole awardee). • Timeline: RFP issued April 25 2017, proposal deadline May 25 2017, public opening May 26 2017, award June 2017. • Contract term: 1 year (Aug 1 2017‑Aug 1 2018) with up to four optional 1‑year renewals.
