FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: AUGUST 21, 2018
SUBJECT: APPROVAL FOR THE AWARD OF A CONTRACT FOR MEDICAL AND
RX STOP LOSS INSURANCE
RECOMMENDATION: City Council to consider approval for the award of a contract for Medical
and Rx Stop Loss Insurance with Swiss Re.
FUNDING SOURCE: Funds for this purchase are available in account 100-45674-109-1 (Health
Insurance Premium) in the estimated amount of $584,000.
BACKGROUND: The City of Grapevine is self-funded for employee and pre -65 retiree
medical and prescription insurance. Therefore, the City assumes all or a
portion of the risk for medical and prescription drug claims for all covered
members on its health plan.
Stop Loss Insurance is designed to offer effective protection against
excessive claims by limiting the amount of risk from any one individual
insured. The City's consultants McGriff, Seibels, and Williams secured
four proposals for the renewal of this policy. City staff reviewed the
proposals and determined that Swiss Re would provide the best service
and pricing for meeting the needs of the City.
Staff recommends approval.
