SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
The city of Toledo provides life insurance coverage for employees as part of their Employee Benefits. The City of Toledo’s Agreement with Metlife Life Insurance Company, the incumbent provider expires on December 31, 2018.
The City of Toledo’s Human Resources Department sought competitive proposals in accordance with law and received six (6) responsive proposals for life insurance coverage services. The Human Resources Department reviewed each proposal and determined that Anthem Life Insurance Company presented the lowest and best proposal. It is estimated that the cost associated with the proposed Agreement will be approximately $173,181.50 per year.
