Council approves multi-year HR technology and pharmacy-management contracts
Summary
Personnel committee approved a five-year renewal with Accordware (up to $675,000) to continue the county’s benefits administration platform and a three-year contract with Impax Rx (up to $930,000) for pharmacy cost-management; Director Chip Klepper said both vendors have saved money and provided flexibility for multiple bargaining groups.
The Personnel Committee approved two resolutions to continue county contracts for employee-benefits systems and pharmaceutical-cost containment.
Chip Klepper, director in the executive’s Department of Human Resources, said Resolution 2026-213 confirms Accordware LLC as the best practical source to continue the county’s online benefit-administration platform for five years, not to exceed $675,000. Klepper said the platform is highly customizable and supports multiple union contracts and regional participants required to use the system.
Resolution 2026-214 confirms a three-year contract with Impax Rx (not to exceed $930,000) to assist with high-cost medication management by seeking manufacturer rebates and discounts; Klepper gave examples where the service reduced employee costs on specific prescriptions from $10,000 to about $3,000 and from $4,500 to $1,600. Council approved both contracts by voice vote.
