Workers' Compensation & Risk Control Services

The City of New Haven is soliciting proposals for Workers' Compensation and Risk Control Services through RFP #2025-RFP-199, targeting comprehensive support for managing workplace injury claims and enhancing employee safety. The procurement seeks a service provider to deliver coordinated case management, data-driven injury trend analysis, risk control programs, safety audits, training sessions, and regulatory compliance documentation. Key deliverables include regular reporting on claims performance, safety initiatives, and compliance milestones, with specific requirements for experience in Connecticut Workers' Compensation regulations, OSHA standards, and municipal risk programs. The evaluation criteria are structured as a pass/fail system across seven areas: experience and qualifications (20 points), claims management approach (20 points), risk control and safety services (15 points), technology and reporting capabilities (15 points), references and past performance (10 points), cost proposal (15 points), and responsiveness and proposal quality (5 points). The RFP was released on April 21, 2025, with proposals due on May 13, 2025, at 11:00 am, and includes a potential one-year contract with two possible renewal options.

The RFP documents do not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. While the contract's standard terms emphasize equal employment opportunity and non-discrimination provisions, no specific vendor type restrictions are noted. The procurement does not identify incumbent vendors or require integration with existing infrastructure. The total contract value and specific budget range are not explicitly stated in the provided documents, though the contract will be awarded to the lowest responsible qualified respondent, contingent upon fund availability. The City of New Haven reserves the right to award one or more contracts and will require successful bidders to submit various forms, including a signature sheet, disclosure affidavit, current workforce certificate, and statement of qualifications. Contractors must comply with Connecticut state laws, New Haven city ordinances, and provide monthly certified payment requisitions for services rendered.
