Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
The City of Toledo’s Department of Human Resources sought competitive proposals regarding benefit consultation services related to the City’s healthcare and wellness plans from January 17, 2025 through February 18, 2025. Seven proposals were submitted. The four companies with the lowest proposals (Savage and Associates, Inc., Taylor Oswald, LLC., McGohan Brabender, and Hylant Group, Inc.) were invited to present to the Healthcare Cost Containment Committee. After review and discussion, it is recommended that Hylant Group, Inc.’s proposal of $148,000 annually be accepted for a three-year contract, with two one-year optional terms, beginning August 4, 2025. In addition to being one of the lowest priced proposals, Hylant Group, Inc. has many years of experience providing consultation services to similar organizations and is located in Toledo.
