PURPOSE:
The Human Resources Department is responsible for managing the administration of the City's dental plan. A specialized third party firm is contracted by the Department to manage the program. An addendum to amend the current contract, valued at approximately $12,806 is needed. This will bring the total contract value from $432,000 to approximately $444,806. In accordance with current City Service Contract Policy, Council approval is required for contracts valued at greater than $100,000.
BACKGROUND:
On behalf of the Human Resources Department, the Centralized Contracting Division conducted an online Request for Proposals in 2012 for services for fiscal year 2013-14 that resulted in a Council approved award to ACS Benefit Services. The contract was amended for an additional year to allow time to conduct a new Request for Proposals, which was approved by City Council in September of 2015 and awarded to Delta Dental. The new contract will begin on January 1, 2016.
To enable ACS Benefit Services to fully close out the current contract, the Department needs to extend the current agreement through June 30th and increase the value by an estimated amount of $12,806.
BUDGET IMPACT:
None. Funds are available in the current fiscal year budget.
RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUESTED:
Council approval of a Resolution Amending an Agreement with ACS Benefits to Close-out Current Dental Plan Administration Services Contract is requested.
