About this file

Written by GovTribe AI ·

This is a Plan Design Deviations template document for the City of Long Beach's Life and Disability Insurance Request for Proposal (RFP). The document serves as a structured submission requirement for qualified insurance carriers responding to the City's solicitation for life and disability insurance products and services. The template comprises thirteen separate tabs, each corresponding to a specific benefit plan design category: Basic Life and AD&D (employer-paid), Additional Life (employer-paid), Voluntary Life (employee), Spouse Life, Child Life, Voluntary Short-Term Disability (STD), Voluntary Long-Term Disability (LTD), Buy-Up STD, City-Paid STD, Employee-Paid STD, Buy-Up LTD, City-Paid LTD, and Employee-Paid LTD. For each benefit plan design, bidders are required to identify current benefit descriptions and propose corresponding benefit descriptions while documenting any administrative deviations or constraints. The template instructions specify that benefits not identified as deviations will be understood to be administered identically to their current forms, and bidders are expected to clarify how they would propose to administer benefits as similarly as possible to existing designs.

The document does not contain specific pricing terms, set-aside information, incumbent carrier details, funding amounts, or contract award timelines within the Plan Design Deviations template itself. The template is designed as a technical assessment tool requiring bidders to demonstrate their capability and willingness to administer the City's existing benefit structures, or to clearly articulate any necessary modifications to current plan designs. This submission requirement enables the City to evaluate how prospective carriers would handle complex multi-product benefit administration while maintaining operational continuity with existing employee benefit programs.
