The quote request due date remains unchanged at 2:00 p.m. on Friday, July 18, 2025, and prospective respondents are instructed to acknowledge receipt of the addendum on Attachment F – Premium Cost Sheet.

The addendum is part of a broader procurement process for a fully insured vision insurance plan targeting 510 professional, administrative, and technical staff across multiple service centers in northeast and east-central Florida. The current vision insurance provider is EyeMed Vision Care, with employees and retirees paying 100% of premiums. The estimated annual premiums are approximately $42,000, based on 268 participants across various coverage tiers. The anticipated contract duration is two years, from January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2027, with potential annual renewal options. The district seeks a provider with an A.M. Best Rating of "A-" or higher and at least five years of experience in group vision insurance, with the goal of maintaining comprehensive vision care services while potentially improving cost-effectiveness and provider network accessibility.
