The bidding process has begun for a new worker’s compensation third party company for the City of Wichita Falls.
This comes after a controversial legal battle between the city’s current worker’s compensation company and injured Wichita Falls Police Officer Tim Putney.
However, city leaders says the move has nothing to do with Officer Putney’s legal battle with Edwards Risk Management.
“I guess the timing of that could seems coincidental, but it’s not related to that specific incident,” Human Resources Director, Christi Klyn said. “The contract is up at the end of November. So because that’s coming up, it’s now the appropriate time to post that out for bid.”
