DISCUSSION: The Human Resources Department(HRD) will use this Contract to provide City employees with access to voluntary long-term disability insurance products. The City of Fort Worth currently contracts with Standard Insurance to provide employees with access to this type of insurance. Having worked with the same carrier for many years, HRD staff determined that it would be in the best interest of City employees to go out to the market and give all providers an opportunity to compete for the City's business to ensure the employees are getting the best overall policies and price. The City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) on February 19, 2014. This RFP was advertised in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram every Wednesday starting on February 19, 2014 through March 27, 2014. Fifty-nine vendors were solicited from the purchasing database; six responses were received. The incumbent, Standard Insurance, did not respond to the RFP. The proposals were thoroughly reviewed by an evaluation team consisting of staff from the following departments: Transportation and Public Works, Fire, Water, Parks and Community Services and Human Resources. The evaluation team was provided with resources and assistance by the City's benefits consultant, Arthur J. Gallagher, and staff from the Purchasing Division. The evaluation team ranked the proposals based on the following factors: technical proposals, qualifications, adherence to terms and conditions of the RFP, financial stability, value-added services and pricing competitiveness. Two finalists were selected and made presentations. Following the presentations, the evaluation team determined that Unum Life Insurance Company of America (Unum) provides the best overall solution to the City and significant premium savings to employees who choose to purchase the benefit. Unum has agreed to provide a rate guarantee until December 31, 2017. AGREEMENT TERMS - Upon City Council approval, the initial three-year term of this contract shall begin on January 1, 2015 and expire on December 31, 2017. RENEWAL OPTIONS - This contract may be renewed up to two additional one-year periods at the City's sole discretion. This action does not require specific City Council approval. M/WBE OFFICE -A waiver of the goal for MBE/SBE subcontracting was requested by the Purchasing Division and approved by the M/WBE Office, in accordance with the BDE Ordinance, because the purchase of goods or services is from sources where subcontracting or supplier http://apps.cfwnet.org/council_packet/mc review.asp?ID=20033&councildate=7/22/2014 10/17/2014 M&C Review Page 2 of 2 opportunities are negligible.
