About this file
This is a professional services proposal and fee schedule submitted by Flores, a benefits administration company, to the City of Burleson, Texas, for the administration of ancillary insurance benefits including Health Savings Accounts (HSA), Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA), Health Reimbursement Accounts (HRA), Commuter Benefit Accounts (CBA), life.balanced. Accounts (LBA), and COBRA administration services. The proposal outlines Flores' service model, which combines dedicated account manager support with a proprietary technology platform to administer employee benefit plans. The implementation timeline spans 75 days from proposal acceptance to plan effectiveness, with key milestones including account manager assignment at 70 days prior to the plan effective date and plan implementation completion at the effective date. The proposal was prepared for an effective date of January 1, 2022, with professional fees guaranteed for a five-year period.
Flores' pricing structure utilizes a per-participant-per-month (PPPM) model with specific fees for each service line: FSA administration at $3.95 PPPM with a $100 minimum, HSA administration at $2.95 PPPM with a $100 minimum, Commuter Benefit administration at $3.50 PPPM with a $100 minimum, HRA administration at $4.50 PPPM with a $100 minimum, and COBRA administration at $0.49 per insured employee per month with a $50 minimum. The proposal waives both the implementation fee of $750 and renewal fee of $250. Additional service fees may apply for optional services such as mailed open enrollment notices at $10 per notice plus printing and shipping with a $50 minimum, and bulk mailing of initial rights notices at $2.00 each. The proposal was valid through December 31, 2021, and was prepared by Cindy Bistany, Business Development Director.
