Dodge County Healthcare Committee names three finalists in broker RFP

The Dodge County Healthcare Committee met Monday, May 12, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. at the Pearl Bates Courthouse Annex to review responses to the county's request for proposals for a healthcare broker. After reviewing seven submissions, the committee advanced three firms as finalists for full board consideration: Capstone Benefits Consulting, Mark III and MSI Benefits Group.

The committee's meeting minutes list the seven firms that submitted proposals: Campus Benefits; Capstone Benefits Consulting; HUB International; Mark III; MSI Benefits Group; NFP, An Aon Company; and Taylor Insurance Services. The minutes do not record a formal motion, mover, or recorded roll-call vote; they note only that, "After review, the final three selected for full board review and selection were: Capstone Benefits Consulting; Mark III; MSI Benefits Group." The minutes indicate the meeting began at 9:00 a.m. and adjourned at 9:32 a.m.

Commissioners Leigh Ann Greene (District 2) and Jeffrey Jones (District 4) were listed as present. The minutes list Kimberly Smith-Parkerson as BOC Clerk and Teresa Sanders as HR Clerk among those also present. The document is attested by Kimberly Smith-Parkerson and shows approval by County Manager Conner Bearden.

The committee's action advances the procurement process: the three named firms will proceed to a full board review and final selection at a later date. The minutes do not specify the timeline for that board review, the evaluation criteria used to narrow the field, any scoring or interview results, or whether the county staff recommended the three finalists. Those details were not provided in the minutes and are therefore not specified.
