In plain language — from agenda source text
This item authorizes a contract with Tristar Risk Management/Tristar Insurance Group to handle the City's workers compensation claims administration on behalf of Austin Human Resources. A third-party administrator processes the paperwork, medical bills, and benefit payments when a City employee gets hurt on the job instead of the City staffing that work in-house. The initial two-year term runs an estimated $4,210,000, with up to three one-year extensions bringing the total ceiling to $11,080,000; $2,105,000 is available in the Human Resources operating budget, and the rest depends on future budgets.
