A resolution authorizing the
City Manager to execute a
Professional Services
Agreement with Star HRG
RECOMMENDATION
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached resolution,
authorizing the City Manager to execute a professional services agreement, in a form
acceptable to the City Attorney, with "Star, HRG", the top ranked firm, for the period of
one year. The funding for this fiscal year will be provided from account code 921002-
510 currently assigned $150,000 for this project. Subsequent renewal years are subject to
budget approval.
BACKGROUND
RFP 03-04-004 was issued to obtain a qualified and experienced health care provider to
provide an affordable Group Health Benefits Program ("Program") for the City's part
time employees. This Plan is being created for non -benefited employees to use as their
"core" Plan if/until employees are eligible for full-time permanent Plan.
The Successful Proposer must offer the City a complete management of the Program,
from enrollment, utilization of managed care networks, billing and payments, regardless
of enrollment. The City proposes to only provide the Successful Proposer with employee
contributions from those participating employees, and the Successful Proposer will be
required to administer the entire Program. Premiums must be designed to be very
reasonable. The City will contribute towards a portion of the employee's single
coverage. It is anticipated the Successful Proposer will provide preventative health
coverage, at nominal cost, to said part time employees. In order to keep premiums low,
the plan should not be structured to provide catastrophic coverage. Coverage and
network should be designed to be easily accessible to give Plan participants help with
common, everyday medical expenses.
