Summary : On behalf of the District, Lockton Companies, LLC solicited bid responses for Administration of Medical and Pharmacy Benefits. The request for proposals was released on December 18, 2020, with responses received back from five (5) vendors on January 18, 2021. The award of the RFP was on hold, until July 1, 2022, due to Covid. After final presentations and comparisons, awarding to UHC (Medical) and Optum Rx (Pharmacy) would result in a savings from the current vendor (Allegiance) of an estimated $900,000 and an estimated $550,000 of savings over the AmeriBen proposal, in year one. Awarding to UHC for the Medical Administration would be an estimated savings in administration fees of $200,000 over the current vendor (Allegiance) and $350,000 over the AmeriBen proposal.
