Recordkeeper RFPI (Request for Proposal) for Voluntary 403(b) Plan Information as of September 30, 2024

Background Collin College is required by Texas law to rebid the sole recordkeeping / administrative services for its voluntary 403(b) plan, the Collin Invests Enhanced Retirement Savings Plan. If a new recordkeeper is selected, they would “go live” in the first half of 2025.

Collin College provides several ways for employees to save for retirement including the state sponsored TRS (Teacher Retirement System of Texas) and ORP (Optional Retirement Program) for all full-time faculty and eligible staff. In addition, all employees (excluding student employees) are eligible to enroll in this voluntary 403(b) plan sponsored by Collin College. More information about Collin College’s Retirement Plan program is available here: Collin College Retirement Programs. Of particular note is the 100% match on the first 4% of pay contribution that is made for all eligible full-time employees.

RFP Process PlanPILOT has been retained by Collin College to assist in this RFP process resulting in either the continuation of Corebridge as the sole recordkeeper or the selection of a new recordkeeper. The RFP will be published on the Collin College eBid procurement website and will remain open for the prescribed length of time.
