The City Manager described the process that was taken to issue Request for Proposals ( RFPs) for the City' s medical, dental, vision, and life insurance products. After review of the proposals and presentations, it was determined that the proposal from the City' s current insurance carrier, Public Risk Management ( PRM) be accepted.

The City Manager continued that because of the information researched during the RFP process, Staff has determined that for FY 2014 -15, it may be appropriate to issue two RFP' s, one to inquire into the feasibility of hiring an insurance agent to represent the City for health insurance, and a second to solicit proposals from the various insurance carries and allow the agent to review and evaluate the proposals.
