Because of changes in the composition of the <br />service co-op (of which the city is a part) and market trend increases in premiums, it <br />is in the city's best interest to solicit bids for the upcoming contract year. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The bid proposals will include several alternates including bidding the city as one <br />group and separate union and non-union groups. In order to have premium <br />information available by November 30th, bids must be received no later than <br />October 20th. This will give staff adequate time to review the proposals and to meet <br />with employees, union representatives, and the council as necessary. <br /> <br />Action Requested <br /> <br />The council is asked to authorize staff to advertise for bids for group health <br />insurance for the contract year beginning January 1, 2000. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
