Group Life & Employer Paid Short-Term Disability

The City of Surprise Human Resources Department is seeking proposals from reputable insurance carriers to provide a comprehensive benefits package that includes Fully Insured Group Life and Accidental Death and Dismemberment (AD&D) coverage, as well as Paid Medical Leave for Employer Paid Short-Term Disability (STD) insurance plans. The goal is to establish a long-term partnership with one or more firms capable of delivering these services at a competitive cost, with the contract set to commence on July 1, 2025, initially for two years, and including a price guarantee for the duration of the initial term. The coverage must be offered through group policies rather than individual plans, and proposals can be submitted as bundled packages combining both benefits or as unbundled options focusing on one service. The City reserves the right to award multiple contracts based on the most advantageous offers that meet their objectives. The solicitation, identified as number 325299, was posted on February 13, 2025, with a response deadline of March 6, 2025. The contract size is estimated to range between $500,000 and $2,000,000. Interested firms are encouraged to submit their proposals and can contact Misty Gomez via email or phone for further information. The project is managed under the NAICS code 524114, and the City emphasizes selecting providers that can demonstrate the ability to meet the specified requirements efficiently and cost-effectively.
