FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: SEPTEMBER 1, 2020
SUBJECT: APPROVAL TO RENEW AN ANNUAL CONTRACT FOR EMPLOYEE
ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (EAP) SERVICES
RECOMMENDATION: City Council to consider the renewal of an annual contract for Employee
Assistance Program (EAP) services with Deer Oaks for the Risk
Management Department.
FUNDING SOURCE: Funds are available in the Health Insurance Premium budget for an
estimated amount of $20,100.
BACKGROUND: The EAP is a voluntary, confidential program which helps employees work
through various life challenges that may adversely affect job performance,
health and personal well-being to optimize their success with the City of
Grapevine.
The City's consultants McGriff, Seibels, and Williams secured the renewal
of this program with Deer Oaks. The pricing was guaranteed for five
years. City staff determined that the renewal contract will provide the best
service for meeting the needs of the City. The contract was for an initial
one-year period with four, one-year renewal options. If approved, this will
be the second renewal available.
Staff recommends approval.
