Employee Benefit
Dental Plan
FILE :
As Chairperson of the Evaluation Committee ("Committee") for the above services for the City of Miami, it is
my responsibility to offer the findings and recommendation of the Committee.
The City issued an RFP on May 7, 2004 for Employee Benefit Dental Plan requesting quotes on the current
DMO, as well as, an optional PPO product. Responses for this RFP were due to the City Clerk by June 2, 2004.
The cost of this program is paid for 100% by the employees.
The. appointed Committee met and discussed the merits of the responsive and responsible proposals, and
evaluated each according to the plans proposed, pursuant to the City's RFP. Following discussion, deliberation
and oral presentations, the Committee, by consensus, recommends the following Proposer(s), in rank order:
For the provision of DMO Services
1. Paragon
2. Comp Benefits
3. Cigna
4. Florida Combined Life
For the Provision of PPO Services
1. Metropolitan Life
2. Cigna
3. Comp Benefits
3. Paragon
We are requesting permission to negotiate with the number 1 firms in each product. Should contract
negotiations fail with the top ranked firm, the Committee recommends the City negotiate with the second
ranked firm. If negotiations fail with the second ranked firm, then permission to negotiate with the third
ranked firms. For the PPO Services, there is a tie for third, so we would recommend negotiating with both to
determine which would be the best contract for the City. On DMO services only, if contract negotiations fail
with the third ranked firm, then permission to negotiate with the fourth ranked firm. The contracts will be
negotiated until they are found to be acceptable by the City. Once the contracts are negotiated, they will be
brought back before commission for final approval.
Should you concur with our recoin ttendation, plea n2licate below.
