BUDGET SOURCE/BUDGET IMPACT: Account 211-77150 Actuarial Services
RECOMMENDED MOTION: I move that the Village Board approve Resolution 2020-FIN-
CNTRCT-ACT-R-1916, "A Resolution Approving and Authorizing Award Of Contract to The
Nyhart Company, Inc. for Actuarial Services" for fiscal year 2021, with one-year option
renewals for 2022-2025.
Background/History:
In 2015, the Village entered into a five year agreement with The Nyhart Company, Inc. (Nyhart)
to provide actuarial services for the Police Pension, Fire Pension, and Other Post-Employment
Benefits (OPEB)plans for years 2016-2020. Nyhart was chosen amongst five vendors through a
request for proposal (RFP)process. During the initial five-year agreement,Nyhart has proved to
be a valuable resource for the Village. Nyhart representative Mike Zurek has answered
numerous pension related questions,provided calculations for various scenarios, and updated
future pension modelers each year. The Village has not been charged extra for any serivice,nor
have we had a price increase for the Police and Fire valuations in the five years. The initial
2016-2020 contract called for annual $250 increases for Police and Fire,but these were waived
each year. Any year-to-year price increases relate to the OPEB valuation, and have been due to
Governmental Accounting Standards Board(GASB) reporting changes.
Due to uncertaintiy with the State's pension consolidation efforts in the coming years, we would
like to extend Nyhart to continue providing actuarial services on a year to year basis. It's
possible the State consolidates actuarial services in the coming years, similar to how its done
with investment services. If this occurs, the Village would no longer have a need to hire its own
actuary to provide recommended contribution numbers.
BOT AGENDA Page 1
�G
The proposed agreement covers five years of fixed fees and can be renewed each year. Nyhart
has again agreed to hold fees for the Police and Fire Pension valuations at $7,500 each, which
matches the amounts paid for the 2016-2020 valuations. The OPEB valuation pricing varies
from year to year based on the testing and reporting requred by GASB. Nyhart will continue to
provide the annual projection modelers, as well as provide information and calculations as they
arise throughout the year.
The full agreement has been attached to this memo for review.
Recommendation:
I recommend the Village Board approve Resolution 2020-FIN-CNTRCT-ACT-R-1916, "A
Resolution Approving and Authorizing The Award Of A Contract to The Nyhart Company, Inc.
for Actuarial Services" for fiscal year 2021, with one-year option renewals for 2022-2025.
