Project Manager Services to Administer the Life and Long-Term Disability Insurance

The Albuquerque Bernalillo County Water Utility Authority in Albuquerque, New Mexico, is seeking project manager services to administer its life and long-term disability insurance programs. The agency needs to collect, organize, review, and validate all experience, enrollment, utilization, and related data necessary for the development and evaluation of vendor proposals. The project aims to identify and document the desired program structure, benefit offerings, administrative requirements, and coverage provisions applicable to each participating agency. The selected contractor must provide input regarding current market conditions, carrier participation expectations, and recommended procurement strategies to maximize competition and value. The scope of work includes assisting with the establishment and calculation of the evaluation point summary, cost ranking, total awarded points, and best and final analysis. This assistance requires the development and application of financial evaluation methodologies necessary to compare proposals across varying rating structures, coverage lines, participating authorities, and potential award scenarios. The life insurance coverage involves a combination of employer-paid and employee-paid coverage across multiple lines, including Basic Life, Basic Accidental Death and Dismemberment (AD&D), Additional Life, Additional AD&D, Dependent Life, and Retiree Life. Eligible bidders must be onshore organizations based in the United States. The agency allows the performance of the work to be completed offsite, and bidders must submit their responses digitally via email or online. The agency has not disclosed a specific budget and is looking for proposals to define the cost.
