Commitments, Contingencies and Legal Proceedings

Lease Commitments

The Company leases office facilities and equipment under operating leases. The office facilities are generally used for sales, recruitment, engineering, design, drafting and administrative functions and are under leases with various expiration dates in the future. Rent expense for operating leases was $10.8 million, $12.0 million and $12.0 million in 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Sublease proceeds were $0.2 million, $0.3 million and $0.3 million in 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Future minimum annual rental payments under non-cancelable leases, excluding expected sublease proceeds between $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the year 2017 through 2019, are as follows for the indicated periods:

Year	Amount
2017	$	9,001
2018	8,513

Self-Insurance

The Company self-funds certain costs related to workers' compensation and employee health benefit claims. The Company maintains stop-loss insurance for workers’ compensation and health care benefit claims that generally limits the Company’s exposure to $0.3 million and $0.2 million per incident, respectively. The Company records expense for its estimated claims exposure based on incurred claims, historical experience and third-party insurance professionals or actuaries. The amounts accrued give consideration to the estimated undiscounted cash payments expected to be paid to satisfy existing claims and a reserve for incurred-but-not-reported claims. The accrual for workers’ compensation estimated claims exposure was $2.1 million and $1.9 million as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company established its self-funded health benefits program during 2011 and had accrued $4.4 million and $5.1 million as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, for its estimated claims exposure.

Legal Proceedings and Claims

The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims that have arisen in the ordinary course of business. The Company records a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Although management cannot predict the timing or outcome of these matters with certainty, management does not believe that the final resolution of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
