Contract: Medical Insurance Services - Administrative Employees (Public Employers Health Plan)
end
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Procurement Contract/Change Order
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve and authorize the Executive Director to execute the 5-year base contract and associated disbursements with Public Employers Health Plan (PEHP) for medical insurance services in the not to exceed amount of $40,000,000 .
BACKGROUND:
This contract purchases medical insurance coverage for administrative employees through Public Employers Health Plan (PEHP) for Utah Transit Authority (UTA).
DISCUSSION:
UTA traditionally offers health insurance coverage to administrative employees through two vendors. UTA conducted an RFP for health insurance benefits. As a result of this process, UTA selected Public Employers Health Plan (PEHP) as one of the vendor options to continue providing health insurance benefits. This contract is for an initial five-year period from May 2022 through April 2027, with the option to extend the initial term for up to five additional years. The structure of this contract allows UTA to continue with PEHP as a provider beyond five years if UTA believes the terms, cost, and service are competitive. Staff will seek additional board approval of any option years beyond the initial five-year base contract period.
Experience with PEHP has been positive overall from a customer service standpoint, rates have been competitive, and the network of providers allows employees a greater selection when seeking care.
