BACKGROUND
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. An evaluation committee made up of both Union
representation and City Administration analyzed the proposals received and made a
recommendation to the City Commission to allow the right to negotiate with the top ranked
firms. The City Commission authorized permission to negotiate with these firms on the
September 23, 2004 meeting. The attached agreements have been successfully negotiated to
the City's satisfaction and are ready for implementation.
Thank you.
