Subject: Agreement for CRS consultant services
The following agenda item is an agreement with CRS Max Consultants to continue
providing professional consulting services related to the Village's Community Rating System
(CRS) under the National Flood Insurance Program.The initial agreement, approved at the
council meeting March 141h 2024, focused on consulting services for CRS annual recertification.
The proposed renewat expands the scope of services to include preparation for an upcoming
Verification Visit,which is a comprehensive audit conducted approximately once every five
years by the Insurance Services Office (150).This audit typically requires extensive preparation
by participating communities.
CRS Max will continue to assist the Village in its efforts to improve our CRS classification
from a Class 6 to a Class S.Achieving this enhanced classification would provide Village
residents with a 25%Q discount on their flood insurance premiums.
CRS Max is the sole provider of these services for the Village, as they already maintain
detailed information on both Palm Beach County and the Village of Tequesta CRS records. Their
existing knowledge and records make them uniquely positioned to effectively support the
Village in achieving its CRS goals.
The total cast of services under this renewal is not to exceed $22,500.00 within a one-
year period. .

The Village of Tequesta (Village), in anticipation of its Verification Visit in 2026, has
Tegl rested that CRS Max Consultants, Inc. (Consultant) submit a proposal for CRS

Approximately once every five yeaTs, the Insurance Services Office (ISO)„ which
oversees all CRS programs in the nation, performs an audit of every participating

extensive preparation on the part of the community.
The Consultant proposes to work together with the staff of the Village of Tequesta to
prepare for the Village's Community Rating System Verification Visit, to participate in the
Visit and to assist in providing any required documentation following the Visit.
The National Flood Insurance Program's (NFIP) Community Rating System (CRS)
rewards communities that exceed the minimum NFIP requirements to help their citizens
prevent or reduce flood losses. Under the NFIP/CRS Program, flood insurance premiums
in participating communities can potentiatty be reduced by up to 46%. By implementing
floodplain management activities under the CRS Program, the Village of Tequesta is
currently rated a Class 6, which translates into a 20% reduction in flood insurance
premiums for eligible properties in the Village.
