Section 1: GENERAL OVERVIEW
A. PURPOSE
Catoosa 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 selective employee benefit programs.
The County has approximately 430 full-time, benefits eligible employees. Our leadership is looking to ensure we have
financially competitive and affordable benefit programs to offer our 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 Catoosa County at this time and that no insurance
market reservations or commitments be made for any purpose in regards to any insurance or reinsurance to be provided for
the County.
B. INFORMATION TO VENDORS

The broker will also prepare and analyze bid packages, contribute to strategic planning, advise on plan design and cost savings, evaluate insurance products, monitor contracts, audit contracts, analyze claims history, provide information on employee benefit issues and legislation, market stop loss coverage, communicate regulatory changes, review plan documents, manage plan changes, provide leadership on carrier relationships, implement best practices, identify administrative improvements, provide open enrollment support, assist with wellness program design, meet with County staff, provide a key contact person, handle single billing services and COBRA administration, and perform other related consultation services.

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.
