FOR EMPLOYEE BENEFITS BROKER SERVICES
SECTION I – GENERAL OVERVIEW
A. PURPOSE
White County Board of Commissioners is issuing this Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to seek
qualified brokers to assist with strategically planning, designing and negotiating the best coverage
and cost for our comprehensive employee benefit program. The County has approximately 272
benefit eligible employees. Our leadership is looking to ensure we have financially competitive,
effectual and affordable benefit programs to offer county employees.
The County does not guarantee a minimum value for this contract.
This RFQ is not an authorization to approach insurers or other underwriting sources on
behalf of the County. We specifically request that no insurance market contact or solicitation be
made on behalf of White County at this time and that no insurance market reservations or
commitments be made for any purpose in respect to any insurance or reinsurance to be provided
for the County.
B. INFORMATION TO VENDORS
1.
The selected broker will audit contracts and monthly invoices, coordinate annual benefits renewals and negotiations, assist in determining specifications for future coverage, market the county's insurance package, prepare and analyze bid packages, review the benefit package annually for quality and cost effectiveness, monitor contract compliance, analyze claims history quarterly, provide information on benefit trends and legislation, meet regularly with county staff, conduct monthly new-hire enrollments, design communication materials including an annual Employee Benefits Handbook, participate in the annual wellness fair, provide dedicated contacts for claims/HIPAA issues, provide weekly deduction reporting, coordinate COBRA processing, support mandated annual reporting, and provide a web-based enrollment platform.
We post new real estate & leasing opportunities in Georgia as agencies publish them. Get them in one email — free, and unsubscribe whenever.
Most Georgia work asks for the two below, and the solicitation documents are where it’s stated. One prequalification covers both — on this bid and the next.
A surety’s written statement that it expects to bond you up to a stated amount, subject to final underwriting. It’s what an agency asks to see before they take your bid seriously.
