The County of Scott County is issuing this request for proposal for a responsible and qualified Independent Health Care Benefits Consultant to develop a health care strategy, prepare bid specifications and support the County staff in executing the plan.
Our goal is to select a consultant with expertise in employee benefits that can provide benefit options supported by fact driven analysis. The County must remain competitive as an employer and control all benefit costs. The consultant should be prepared to discuss the issues of fully funded plans, self insured plans and partially self insured plans.
All proposals will be evaluated on qualifications, background, and prior experience in conducting similar services; project approach; references; and cost of services. The lowest bid might not be the deciding factor in the Countys final selection of a consultant. Experience with public sector agencies, particularly Iowa counties or cities, is highly desirable.
