SUBJECT: Approval of an Addendum to the Workers Compensation Claims
Administrative Services Agreement
DATE: December 11, 2018
I received the attached Addendum to the Agreement between the City of Dubuque and
Alternative Service Concepts (ASC) for services related to the administration of the
City's Workers Compensation Program. The Addendum extends the current Agreement
and is in effect from January 1, 2019, to February 28, 2019. The reason for the
extension of the current agreement is that we are in the process of reviewing proposals
for the third-party administration of our Worker's Compensation Program and there is a
possibility that we will be changing third-party administrators over the next few months.
I request that the City Council pass a motion approving the Addendum and authorize
you to sign the Addendum.
