Prior to the expiration of this one -year <br /> extension to the contract on June 30, 2011, staff will conduct a "Request for Proposal" <br /> process. <br /> RECOMMENDATION <br /> Ratify the City Manager's execution of amendment to the existing three -year contract <br /> with Innovative Claims Solutions, Inc. for an additional year thought June 30, 2011 <br /> FINANCIAL STATEMENT <br /> The proposed fee for the one -year amendment is $144,876. There are sufficient funds <br /> in the 2010 -2011 Budget to cover these expenses. <br />
