Authorizing the Mayor to enter into an Agreement with Delta Dental for the provision of dental insurance services for the City of Toledo’s covered employees for a term of three (3) years; and further authorizing the expenditure of funds; and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND:
The City of Toledo’s previous contract with Delta Dental Insurance Company, the incumbent provider, expires on July 31, 2018. The City of Toledo’s Department of Human Resources sought competitive proposals and received ten (10) responsive proposals for dental insurance coverage. The Human Resources Department reviewed each proposal, with consultation from the city’s Law (Risk Management) and Finance Departments, and members of the city’s Healthcare Care Cost Containment Committee and determined that Delta Dental presented the lowest and best proposal. It is estimated that the administrative fee cost associated with this agreement will be approximately $84,012.84 per year.
