7. PUBLIC HEARING: Bill Martin Road Hazard Abatement
Commissioner DeBone opened the public hearing. Assistant Legal Counsel John Laherty noted
this hearing is based on the issue of liability for abatement for emergency hazard. Chris Doty,
Public Works Director reviewed the history of the hazard abatement. On February 8, 2017, the
Road Department responded to a request from the Deschutes County Sheriff's Office to evaluate
a road hazard that had developed on Bill Martin Road west of Tumalo. Bill Martin Road is a
local access road and traverses through property owned by Tumalo Irrigation District.
Emergency repairs to the road totaled $21,617.71. Staff recommends assigning full liability of
abatement to TID. Engineer's estimate for infrastructure costs was $12,600.00 not including
emergency response elements. During the road's initial design and construction, the County
engineer brought drainage concerns at that specific location to the attention of TID's engineering
expert, David Evans and Associates.
Representatives from Tumalo Irrigation District were present. Luke Reese, attorney representing
TID stated this was a result of a historic event with the conditions of the winter weather and there
was no intent by TID to cause this hazard. Mr. Reese commented TID was presently unaware of
the communication between the County engineer and David Evans and Associates regarding the
need for a culvert in that location. The day before the sinkhole appeared TID assessed the water
build-up on the road and had intentions of installing a culvert. Mr. Reese stated if the County is
imposing the reimbursement they would request the noted $12,600 from the engineer's estimate.
Assistant County Counsel Laherty noted a fax transmittal dated in 2010 from David Evans and
Associates to George Kolb regarding the engineered plans for the road and also a response from
Mr. Kolb regarding drainage concerns.
Commissioner DeBone closed the public hearing. Discussion held on responsibilities, resident
safety, and financial burdens of cost. The Board reviewed options for payment.
HENDERSON: Move approval of reimbursement by Tumalo Irrigation District in the
amount of $17,100

RE: STAFF REPORT: Third Party Administrator RFP Protest
Background:
Deschutes County currently uses EBMS for TPA services. Our TPA processes and determines our
medical, dental, and vision claims as defined in our Health Plan document. They also provide services in
plan review, contract review, subrogation of claims, and legal compliance. The original contract was
awarded to EBMS in August 2006. This was the last time an RFP had been completed for TPA services.
Best practice tells us it is time to review this contract.
RFP Process:
The County partnered with our benefit consultants, Davidson Benefit Planning, to complete the RFP
process. Davidson drafted the RFP for County HR staff to review and approve. Davidson posted and
advertised the RFP, as well as completed the initial reviewed of the 11 responses. Davidson scored the
responses based on 6 categories; Qualifications, Member Experience, Account Management/Services,
Claims Handling, Contractual Review and Performance Guarantees, and Financials. Davidson narrowed
the responses to three finalist; our incumbent EBMS, PacificSource Health Plans, and UMR a division of
United Health Care.
The finalists met with the Deschutes County TPA Selection Committee, consisting of HR staff, Risk
Manager, Internal Auditor, and members from EBAC. The finalists each had 2 hours to present their
qualifications and proposals to the committee. The committee asked follow-up questions and scored
each finalist on the same criteria as Davidson. Based on the process, EBAC and HR staff recommends
awarding the contract to PacificSource.
Cost Consideration:
The current contract would renew at $543,318 per year, or $41.50 per employee per month.
EBMS proposed a 4% reduction, resulting in $519,752 per year, or $39.70 per employee per month, with
an increase each year following.
PacificSource proposed a 9% reduction, resulting in $492,259 per year, or $37.60 per employee per
month, with a 3 year rate guarantee and a $10,000 wellness credit.
UMR proposed a 19% reduction, resulting in $440,546 per year, or $33.65 per employee per month,
with an increase each year following, and a $10,000 wellness credit each year.
Benefits to PacificSource Health Plan - Transition Considerations:
PacificSource Health Plans administers many more local plans than the other finalists.
PacificSource's response and presentation provided above average communication and marketing
materials, online services, and innovative approaches to plan, cost, data, and member management.
PacificSource processes a higher volume of auto adjudicated claims making processing times quicker and
reduces possibility of human error when processing claims.
The County's Flexible Spending Account plan will auto adjudicate FSA reimbursement requests with the
claims side at PacificSource Health Plans. This will result in improved FSA processing for members.
PacificSource TPA services will require a change to the County's Preferred Provider Network. The
County will change networks and begin using PacificSource's network. Davidson Benefits completed a
disruption report to compare networks and it was determined there will not be a loss of providers so
impact to members will be low.
PacificSource Health Plans is a local business. They started in Springfield Oregon and now have offices
around the Pacific Northwest including a local office in Bend. The access for members will improve as
our current TPA is located in Montana with the closest office in Portland. Improved customer service
was a major consideration in choosing PacificSource.

In accordance with OAR 137-047-0740, Employee Benefit Management Services, Inc. (EBMS)

Procedural History and Standing
EBMS stipulates as follows:
1) EBMS received a written Notice of Intent to Award Contract 2017-181 on April 11,
2017. [Attached as exhibit A].
2) On April 12, 2017, EBMS submitted to the Board of County Commissioners of
Deschutes County ("Board") written notice of its intention to protest. [Attached as exhibit
B].
3) EBMS is filing this Letter of Protest in a timely manner before the specified deadline of
April 17, 2017 at 5:00 P.M.
4) EBMS is a party adversely affected or aggrieved by the intended award of this contract.
EBMS sets forth the following facts to establish the nature of how it is adversely affected
or aggrieved:
• EBMS is the current Third Party Administrator for the Deschutes County benefit
plan and has provided administrative services since August 2006.
• EBMS administers claims for approximately 3,050 member lives on behalf of
Deschutes County.
• EBMS provides claims administration services for the medical, dental, vision,
COBRA and disease management benefits to Deschutes County employees and

Detailed Statement Describing the Grounds for Protest:

EBMS has performed at or above internal and industry standards for claims
administration services for Deschutes County. We ask that the Board review the following
facts carefully as they represent proven success. With Pacific Source, the Board is only
offered "proposed success" - with no guarantee.
• Claims Experience:
o According to Kaiser Family Foundation statistics, self-funded employers have
experienced an average increase of 17% in the cost of healthcare claims between
2011 and 2016.
o Under EBMS' tenure as the claims administrator, for the past 5 years, the
Deschutes County plan experience has outperformed the industry average and has
experienced a trend of -1.00% Per Employee Per Month (PEPM) and -1.55% Per
Member Per Month (PMPM) in total paid claims cost. [Attached as exhibit C)
o For the calendar year 2016, the Deschutes County health plan saved 44% off of
billed charges. It is important to emphasize that these numbers are not PPO
projections or analysis (i.e. a percentage of unknown numbers). This
measurement is based on the impact to Deschutes County's health plan
checkbook and represents actual results for 2016.
• Financial:
o EBMS holds itself to the highest standard of accuracy when processing claims.
We stringently manage our claims processing quality because we understand how
important the County's assets are. When managing a plan that has paid out an
average of almost $15,000,000 per year, we know that even a minimal increase in
the error rate can have significant financial impact to a plan. A reduction in
financial quality of as little as .5% can result in an annual loss of $74,000 or more
to Deschutes County.
• The industry standard for financial accuracy is 99%. For 2016, EBMS
outperformed industry standards with a financial accuracy of 99.97%
• The industry standard for procedural and payment accuracy is 98.0%. EBMS
outperformed both metrics for Deschutes County at 99.03% each.
• Plan Management.

406 245 5575
800.777 3575
406 652 5380
o While a PPO network is a key component in managing claims cost, it does not
effectively manage high dollar facility claims cost, this is due to the lack of
control over hospital billed charges. EBMS has implemented programs to review
and negotiate additional savings for our clients. In 2016, EBMS saved the
Deschutes County plan an additional $95,000 that would not have been realized
under a PPO alone. Outside of the PPO savings, EBMS claims management
processes saved Deschutes County Over 30% off of billed charges for 2016.
• Service Metrics
o EBMS provides Deschutes County members with quality customer service. In
2016, EBMS supported 8,079 inquiries. EBMS' average speed of answer was
only 18 seconds. The management of our service team provides staffing to
respond quickly to member calls. This resulted in an "abandon rate" (rate of
callers hanging up before they are connected) of only 0.95%. The remaining
99.05% of callers connected with a representative and received quality customer
service. Quality review audits show that 99.13% of calls were resolved with one
call to the service team, and EBMS' quality score was 98.79%.
• Performance Guarantee:
o EBMS agreed to put a percentage of our administrative fees at risk and created a
custom performance guarantee for Deschutes County covering the following
areas: Claims Processing, Financial Accuracy, Customer Service, Account
Management, and System Transition. EBMS is confident in our ability to manage
costs. We are also willing to offer a Trend Management Guarantee, putting 25%
of our administrative fee at risk if the Net Claims Per Member Per Month trend
cost exceeded 5%. Is Deschutes County guaranteed a return of a portion of their
administrative fee if their claims trend exceeds 5% with the new claims
administrator?
Contention #2• Financial and Fiduciary Considerations
• Additional Costs and Unknowns:
o All transitions come with additional and often times unexpected cost. Transition
cost for the plan to consider include: run out fees, reporting cost, implementation
fees, and cost for file integration with outside vendors.
• Responsibilities of Plan Fiduciaries:
o As a fiduciary, the decision to move claims administration and disrupt
membership should only be made if the committee is certain that the selected
vendor will perfoim better than the incumbent. When looking at the statistics that
have been provided, how can the County be assured the selected vendor will

800 777 3575

outperform EBMS and provide the County with the same quality, accuracy and
financial stability it enjoyed with EBMS?
o If the committee elected to change administrators in hopes of obtaining financial
savings, EBMS would like to note that our business model is built solely on
supporting the needs of self-funded clients. All processes, programs and resources
are designed to manage the cost and unique needs of self-funded clients. Because
each self- funded client is unique, EBMS is flexible enough to allow clients to
select vendors such as the pharmacy and on site clinic of their choice and will
integrate our service lines with these vendors.
EBMS supported integration with Deschutes County's outside vendors, and has done so at no
additional cost to the County. EBMS' integrated programs and preferred vendors could provide
greater plan management and cost savings to the plan. EBMS has many cost containment
strategies available through our preferred vendor partners that would benefit both the County
membership and health benefit plan. If Deschutes County selected an EBMS partner, additional
cost savings to the County's health plan would have been observed. EBMS places a high value
on such programs and therefore offered the Financial Performance Guarantee described above.
These programs include but are not limited to:
• Prescription Drug Management — estimated savings of at least 19% based on analysis
• Care Link Advanced
• Telemedicine
• miCare Clinic
Summary:
EBMS appreciates the long term partnership that it has with Deschutes County. We thank the
Board for its willingness to undertake a thorough review of the points illustrated in this Letter of
Protest.
We recognize there are situations when a change of this magnitude is worth the investment of
time, money, and administrative resources. However, the Board must carefully evaluate whether
the possible benefits and savings outweigh the definite disruption to the membership and plan
administration. As we have outlined above, based on quantitative financial and customer
services metrics, EBMS has outperformed the industry and provided quality service and financial
stability that is uncommon.
We offer the standard programs that are expected of every administrator, but also support client
elected programs that are not commonly found with other administrators- such as on site clinics,
captive stop loss program, enhanced care management programs, out of network cost
management and our miChoice cost and quality program. If greater savings is what Deschutes
County is looking for, utilization of these programs would allow additional cost savings and
claims management accompanied with a financial guarantee that is unprecedented.

AGENDA REQUEST & STAFF REPORT
For Board of Commissioners Business Meeting of May 3, 2017
DATE: April 27, 2017
FROM: Chris Doty, Road Department, 541-322-7105
TITLE OF AGENDA ITEM:
PUBLIC HEARING: Bill Martin Road Hazard Abatement
PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS DATE?: Yes
CONTRACTOR: n/a
AGREEMENT TIMEFRAME: n/a
INSURANCE:
n/a
BACKGROUND AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS:
On February 8, 2017, the Road Department responded to a request from the Deschutes
County Sheriff's Office to evaluate a road hazard that had developed on Bill Martin Road, west
of Tumalo. The attached document (03/15/17 report to BOCC) describes the specifics of the
event and associated response, as well as provides the basis for notification to the BOCC of a
road hazard abatement as prescribed by ORS 368.271(4).
As prescribed by ORS 368.276, this is a hearing to assess costs and determine persons
liable for payment of costs associated with the abatement of an emergency road hazard
on Bill Martin Road. In accordance with state statue, Tumalo Irrigation District has been
provided appropriate notification of the time/place of this hearing.
In deciding this matter, the following should be considered:
Per ORS 368.246:
(1): "Except as authorized by the county governing body, an owner or lawful occupant of land
shall not allow: (a) Any water to overflow, seep or otherwise discharge from that land onto a
public road under county jurisdiction including, but not limited to, water that is passing over the
land, diverted from the land by an obstruction on the land, flowing from the land because of
rainfall or discharged from an irrigation sprinkler or other device.
(2) A person is not in violation of this section if there is no reasonable method for the person to
control, stop or remove the cause of the violation."
per ORS 368.276:
(3) After consideration of matters presented at the hearing, the county governing body shall
issue an order:
(a) Establishing costs to be paid; and
(b) Directing the person the county governing body determines to be responsible for
payment of the costs to pay the costs within the time established by the county governing
body, which time shall not be less than 60 days.
(4) If the county governing body cannot establish responsibility for payment of costs under
this section, the owner of the property that is the source of the violation of ORS 368.256 shall
be responsible for payment unless the owner can establish that there was no reasonable
method for the owner to control, stop or remove the cause of the violation.
(5) The county governing body shall provide for notice of the results of the hearing to
persons ordered to pay costs by service under ORS 368.401 to 368.426. Any person who
does not pay costs as directed by an order under this section is liable for those costs.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: The Road Department incurred an expense of $21,617.71 of which
approximately $4,400 was aggregate, culvert pipe, and other materials with the remainder of
cost associated with labor and equipment.
ATTENDANCE: Chris Doty, Road Department Director and John Laherty, Assistant Legal
Counsel
RECOMMENDATION & ACTION REQUESTED:
Staff recommends assigning the full liability of the hazard abatement, by Board Order, to
Tumalo Irrigation District in the amount of $21,617.71 and order payment within 60 days.

RE: Nuisance Abatement — Sinkhole in Bill Martin Road
On the evening of February 8, 2017 it was reported that a sinkhole was developing in Bill Martin
Road (off of Tumalo Reservoir Road), west of Tumalo. It was initially reported by nearby
residents and verified by Deschutes County Sherriff's Deputies.
Bill Martin Road is a Local Access Road (LAR) as defined by OR 368.001 and is not a county
maintained road, although Deschutes County remains the jurisdictional authority for the road.
As a LAR, Deschutes County is not liable for failure to improve a LAR or keep it in repair per
ORS 368.031. However, pursuant to ORS 368.271, a county road official may take any
reasonable action to abate a road hazard that creates a substantial risk of damage, injury or
other emergency condition, without delay and without notice or hearing.
Deschutes County Road Department personnel arrived at the location of the sinkhole at
approximately 9:30 PM and observed that a sinkhole had developed in an area where a
significant amount of stormwater run-off was flowing into the low point of the roadside ditch of
Bill Martin Road approximately one mile north of Tumalo Reservoir Road. The sinkhole area
was observed to be approximately 20 feet wide (width of road) by 15 feet long — and would
eventually measure 30 feet long once fully excavated. The sinkhole was approximately 3 feet
deep. The stormwater was draining into the sinkhole at approximately 500 gallons per minute
and was disappearing into the roadbed with no evidence of ponding — as the substrate was very
permeable.
Bill Martin Road is a 1.5 mile road that is the single access to approximately six residential
properties and several undeveloped lots. The road traverses through property (500+/-) acres
owned by Tumalo Irrigation District and was constructed by the District in 2010 as a LAR to
serve development. The road is the subject of litigation filed by several accessing property
owners against Tumalo Irrigation District and Deschutes County, however the actions taken and
this report are unrelated to the litigation.
Given the road obstruction and ongoing road damage caused by the sinkhole, and the resulting
lack of public access to the affected properties, I determined that the sinkhole created a
substantial risk of damage, injury or other emergency, and a decision was made to immediately
abate the hazard with Road Department equipment, materials, and personnel. Three 12 -inch
culverts were installed to divert water collecting in the ditch from the north side of the road to the
south side — which is the natural drainage pattern for the area. The sinkhole area was
excavated to solid material within the road bed as well as both sides of the excavation. Fabric
was used to line the excavated area and 3 -inch minus fill material was used to backfill the
excavation. The fill was capped with 5 -inches of %"-minus base rock (gravel) surfacing.
The project was completed on February 9th. The total cost of the project was $21,617.71.
Since this abatement was performed as an emergency action, ORS 368.271 requires the county
road official to file a written report with the county governing body setting forth the reason for the
abatement, the actions taken, the cost, and any other information the governing body requires.
This memorandum fulfills the statutory reporting requirement.
ORS 368.276 affords the County a process by which to recoup costs associated with abatement
of an emergency road hazard from a landowner who is found liable for the hazard. This statute
states that a landowner may be held liable if the hazard is caused by the landowner allowing
rainfall or water passing over his land to overflow or discharge onto a public road.
In this instance, significant snowmelt runoff from property owned by Tumalo Irrigation District
collected within the roadside ditch of Bill Martin Road and pooled at a localized low point within
the roadway, without the benefit or presence of any drainage feature (culvert), such that it
eventually undermined the roadbed and caused the sinkhole. Thus, the County may pursue
reimbursement from TID for the costs of abating the emergency road hazard.
if the Board wishes to pursue reimbursement for the costs of abatement, ORS 368.276 provides
that the County shall conduct a hearing to determine the person liable and order the costs to be
paid. If so directed, staff will schedule the required hearing and inform Tumalo Irrigation District
per the requirements of the statute.

Re: Tumalo Irrigation District / Deschutes County Board of County Commissioners
Bill Martin Road Hazard Abatement
Our File 80596016
Dear Mr. Laherty:
Thank you for your March 29, 2017 letter transmitting Chris Doty's ORS 368.271 Hazard
Abatement Report. The Tumalo Irrigation District ("TID") looks forward to working with the
County to meet its requirements under ORS 368.256, et al. Together with TID's manager, Ken
Rieck, I will be attending the public hearing with the Board of County Commissioners at
10:00 a.m. on May 3, 2017, to discuss the cost of the Bill Martin Road abatement and,
respectfully, oppose any efforts to hold TID liable for payment of those costs.
In preparation of the public hearing, TID would like the County to consider the following legal
analysis:
As you have correctly stated, ORS 368.256 states:
(1) Except as authorized by the county governing body, an owner
or lawful occupant of land shall not allow:
(a) Any water to overflow, seep or otherwise discharge from
that land onto a public road under county jurisdiction including,
but not limited to, water that is passing over the land, diverted from
the land by an obstruction on the land, flowing from the land
because of rainfall or discharged from an irrigation sprinkler or
other device.
Here, TID agrees that snowmelt runoff from TID's property pooled at a localized low point on
Bill Martin Road, which water contributed to the sinkholes that required emergency abatement.
However, you will note that ORS 368.256 does not hold a landowner like TID strictly liable if
water from its property causes issues that require abatement. Obviously, such strict liability
would run contrary to the County road system and require this type of hearing every time water
that touches private property causes damage to a County road.

Instead, ORS 368.256 holds a landowner liable for abatement costs if that landowner allows
water to overflow from the landowner's property onto a public road. Therefore, a landowner
must have some intent to permit water to flow from its land to the County road. TID did not do
anything to divert storm water from its property onto the public land, or fail to correct a known
issue that water was being unsafely focused from TID land onto a public road. Mr. Rieck will be
happy to discuss the absence of any efforts to manipulate the land to cause any unnecessary or
unnatural water to flow from TID's property to Bill Martin Road.
Given that TID did not overtly intend to focus water from its land to Bill Martin Road, I believe
that a court reviewing any claim under ORS 318.281(i)(a) would apply the "natural and ordinary
consequence" rule used to determine substantial interference in inverse condemnation claims.
See Vokoun v. City of Lake Oswego, 335 Or 19, 29. As the Court of Appeals has recently
explained:
The question in Vokoun was not whether Landslides undermining
homes occur frequently following the construction of drainage
ditchers; the question was whether the undermining landslide was
a natural and ordinary consequence of the construction of the
drainage ditch adjoining the plaintiffs' property — a consequence
that was the last link in a chain of events that began with the
government action and proceeded, without unnatural or
extraordinary intervening causes, to produce the damage.
Dunn v. City of Milwaukie, 241 Or App 95, 102 (2011) (emphasis
in original).
Applied to this situation, TID could only have allowed water to overflow onto Bill Martin Road
in violation of ORS 368.256 if the harm -causing water naturally and ordinarily was moved from
TID's land to Bill Martin Road. However, there was nothing natural or ordinary about the
weather conditions that led up to the February 8, 2017 report of a sinkhole. As the County
Commission has previously discussed, and as has been thoroughly reported by The Bulletin, this
winter's severe weather was historic. Since the County accepted Bill Martin Road into its
system as a local access road in December 2010, the County has not seen such severe winter
weather and, as Mr. Rieck will be happy to explain, Bill Martin Road has never had the ice dams
or water flow that it did leading up to February 8, 2017. Because of these extraordinary
conditions, TID had no notice that it was doing anything to cause or allow water from its land to
cause harm to the public road. The historic weather was an extraordinary intervening factor that
breaks the chain between any TID action and the hazard that required abatement.
I understand that the County does not have frequent occasion to issue Hazard Abatement Reports
under ORS 368.271. That is most likely because most hazards that need abating are evident and
the County must only pursue reimbursement when it requests that a landowner make abatement
efforts and the landowner refuses. That is not the case here, because prior to the extreme
weather conditions of February 2017, neither the County, TID, nor anyone else was aware that
there was the potential for this type of hazard.

TID also requests that the County keep in mind ORS 368.256(2), stating, "A person is not in
violation of this section if there is no reasonable method for the person to control, stop, or
remove the cause of the violation." Such would be the case when, as occurred here, the hazard is
caused by an "act of God." See Allen v. KP. Timber Co., 150 Or 176, 181 (1935) (An act of
God relieves a defendant of liability when damage is the result of "an event in nature so
extraordinary that the history of climactic conditions in the particular locality affords no
reasonable warning of the event.").
TID appreciates the County's efforts to help it and the other residents along Bill Martin Road
deal with this emergency situation. As you know, and as Mr. Rieck will be happy to explain to
the Commission, TID volunteered its employees and equipment to help the County deal with this
situation. TID requests that the County decline to seek any further financial reimbursement from
TID beyond what TID has already provided to assist in this situation.
Ken Rieck and I look forward to speaking with you and the Board of County Commissioners on
May 3, 2017. Do not hesitate to give me a call before the hearing to discuss any questions or
concerns.
Sincerely,
Luke W. Reese
