Resolution 2020-11 Health Care Consultant -Process and Selection
On February 3, 2020, the City of Kenai launched an RFP process , seeking a response from
potential proposers to support our health care consultant and broker needs for employee benefits
at the City of Kenai.
Since 2016, the City has utilized USI Insurance Services to manage our health care consulting
needs. As we had not initiated a review of the market for the health care consultant services in
several years, we decided to go to market with a formal RFP process. Following the proposal
closure on February 21, 2020, we received two proposal packets: USI Insurance Services and
Marsh & Mclennan Agency.
The bid review team, comprised of Stormy Brown, HR Director; Terry Eubank, Finance Director;
and Christine Cunningham, Assistant to the City Manager, analyzed the submitted proposals
using a pre-established point system . Vendors were assigned points considering each of their
bid's demonstration of: Firm Experience; Staff; Available Resources; Methodology and Approach;
and finally, Total Fee. Following the scoring of the proposals, Marsh & Mclennan was determined
to be the winner of the bid , earning 253 points versus 245 points earned by USI. Upon approval
by Council, the annual fee for Marsh & Mclennan's scope of services for the City wilt be $45,000.
The implementation date for services would commence immediately upon approval of the City
Council.
Thank you for your consideration.
