The Texas Windstorm Insurance Association’s (TWIA) Actuarial & Underwriting Committee will meet via GoToWebinar on Tuesday, June 30 at 1:00 p.m. to continue its evaluation of proposals for actuarial services submitted in response to the Association’s February 6 (RFP). The agenda for the meeting is available here, and the meeting materials are available here. The meeting will also be livestreamed on YouTube.

TWIA identified 15 qualified firms and invited them to submit proposals by February 26. Seven firms submitted proposals by the deadline. TWIA staff scored the proposals against an agreed set of criteria. The Actuarial & Underwriting Committee met on March 10 and reviewed the proposals and staff’s scoring of the proposals, selecting four for further consideration:

  • The Burkhalter Group
  • Merlinos
  • Milliman
  • Willis Towers Watson

These four firms will be invited to make a presentation and answer questions from the Committee at the June 30 meeting. TWIA expects to contract with the selected firm as soon as practicable following the meeting.
