Authorizing the Mayor to enter into an Agreement for the provision of dental insurance services for covered employees, for a term of three (3) years with one (1) year optional renewal; authorizing the expenditure of funds from the Healthcare Internal Service Fund; and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
The Department of Human Resources sought competitive proposals for dental insurance services from May 3rd to June 4th, 2024. Five (5) proposals were received. The City, in conjunction with McGohan Brabender, the City’s benefit consultant, reviewed and analyzed the proposals and presented these results to the Healthcare Cost Containment Committee (HCCC). The HCCC unanimously voted to recommend Delta Dental as the City’s dental provider. Delta Dental is the City’s current dental insurance provider, and includes a substantial network of providers. In addition, their administrative costs have remained consistent and reasonable. It is estimated that the administrative fee cost associated with this agreement will be approximately $92,422 per year.

SECTION 1. That the Mayor is authorized to enter into a three (3) year agreement with one (1) year optional renewal for dental insurance services. Such Agreement shall contain terms and conditions deemed proper and requisite according to the Director of Law and Director of Human Resources.
