About this file
This is a Request for Proposal questionnaire from the City of Waco seeking proposals for Life Insurance, Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D), Short-Term Disability (STD), and Long-Term Disability (LTD) coverage administered through Lockton Companies. The RFP details comprehensive plan designs for basic and supplemental life insurance, AD&D coverage, STD, and LTD benefits for active employees and retirees. The coverage requests include basic life insurance at 1x annual earnings up to $50,000, supplemental life up to $200,000, spouse life insurance up to $20,000, and child life insurance options ranging from $2,500 to $20,000. The RFP requires a minimum 4-year rate guarantee but prefers a 5-year arrangement.
The questionnaire focuses heavily on administrative capabilities, including integration with Munis/Tyler Technologies payroll system, implementation credits of 2% on fully-insured lines, and performance guarantees with 2% of premiums and 10% of fees at risk. Vendors must confirm NET commission arrangements for all lines of coverage and a non-rate impactable service fee of 5% to Lockton Specialties. The RFP emphasizes requirements for claims administration, conversion/portability rights, evidence of insurability processes, and various value-added services like EAP benefits. Current rates provided include $0.11 per $1,000 for basic life, $0.02 for AD&D, $0.29 per $10 of weekly benefit for STD, and $0.20 per $100 of covered payroll for LTD.
