The County of Cuyahoga issued a formal RFP (RQ 6058) seeking a third‑party administrator (TPA) to manage its workers’ compensation program for the 2022‑2024 period. The selected TPA must provide end‑to‑end claim administration, handicap reimbursements, regulatory guidance, disputed‑case handling, actuarial reporting, training, and cost‑reduction advisory services. Proposals were due May 28 2021, with a mandatory 90‑day validity period, and the contract runs for three years. The solicitation emphasized firm pricing, required specific insurance coverages, and did not impose any diversity or performance‑bond requirements.
• Scope includes claims management, hearing support, actuarial reporting, and premium‑reduction consulting.
• Vendor must hold professional liability, commercial general liability, cyber‑risk, and other specified coverages with minimum A‑VII rating.
• No budget ceiling disclosed; evaluation is based on a point‑scoring system rather than lowest price.
