Description:
The Shelby County Board of Education (MSCS) seeks a qualified vendor to assume full administration of its employee and retiree health‑benefit programs, consolidating medical, pharmacy, dental, vision, and Medicare supplement plans under a single carrier. The contractor will assess current CIGNA‑administered plans, select integrated insurance products, and provide end‑to‑end administrative services including enrollment, claims processing, customer service, reporting, compliance, and annual cost‑reduction recommendations. The contract is a fixed‑price, three‑year agreement with two optional one‑year extensions, and includes a price‑parity clause and a requirement to maintain extensive insurance coverage and compliance certifications. • Administer ~15,000 participants across medical, pharmacy, dental, vision, early‑retiree, and Medicare‑eligible retiree groups (≈ $145 million program size). • Provide a bundled, single‑carrier solution with “carve‑in” pharmacy administration for self‑insured components. • Deliver annual cost‑saving recommendations and honor a price‑parity clause; maintain required insurance limits, E‑Verify, background‑check, and local‑preference requirements.

Budget Estimate (AI):

$9,000,000 – $17,000,000

Based on the stated $145 million program size, typical third‑party administration fees range from 2 % to 4 % of total claims/premiums. Applying that range yields an annual revenue expectation of roughly $2.9 million to $5.8 million. Over the base three‑year term, the total contract value would likely fall between $9 million and $17 million, with the final amount depending on negotiated rates, optional extensions, and performance‑based cost‑reduction incentives.
