Warren County Schools announced a request for qualifications (RFQ) to review and select the district's employee benefits program.
Mrs. Squire (speaker 17) said the RFQ aims to identify the best benefits and pricing for district employees, evaluating health, dental and vision plans, voluntary benefits, retirement coordination and enrollment support. She told the board the district's current benefits administrator is First Financial Group of America (FFGA). Potential respondent organizations mentioned in the meeting included Employee Plan Services (EPS), Pierce Group Benefits (PGB), Mark 3 Benefits (M3B) and Segal Group Benefits (SGB).
Key dates given in the presentation: RFQ issue date is May 4 and proposals are due June 1. Mrs. Squire said the process will use a committee to review proposals; firms may be asked to present to the committee and the board.
Board members asked clarifying questions about the committee and the open nature of the solicitation; Mrs. Squire confirmed any qualified vendor may apply and that presentations are typical for a short list.
Next steps: the RFQ will be posted and vendors will submit proposals by the June 1 deadline; the selection process will be handled by an evaluation committee and presented to the board as needed.
