Group Life and Group Long Term Disability

The City of Tucson is seeking proposals from qualified vendors to provide fully insured group life insurance and long-term disability coverage for its employees and retirees, with an effective date of July 1, 2025. Bidders must submit proposals that encompass both services; offers that include only one or the other will not be considered. The contract will be net of commissions and must be fully experience-rated and non-dividend eligible, emphasizing the need for integrated disability management capabilities. The current provider is The Hartford, and the selected vendor must demonstrate the ability to integrate with the City’s Workday platform for Evidence of Insurability processes, covering the costs associated with new integrations. All coverage must be offered through group policies, as individual policies are not acceptable under this contract. The solicitation, identified as number 240151, was posted on June 20, 2024, with a response deadline of July 24, 2024. The contract size is estimated to range between five million and fifteen million dollars. The City emphasizes the importance of vendors meeting all specified criteria, including integration capabilities and offering group policies, to be deemed responsive. The procurement process is managed by Tucson Business Services in Arizona, with Troy Rombough serving as the primary contact. The contract will be formalized through an Offer and Acceptance document, binding the successful bidder to deliver the specified insurance services in accordance with the terms outlined in the RFP.
