RFP - Phone System Consultant 2010

  • YEAR CREATED: 2010
  • ENTITY TYPE: County
  • TYPE OF DOCUMENT: RFP - Request for Proposals
The document contains two attachments, Attachment B and Attachment C, which provide information regarding proposals and procurement practices for a health insurance program. Attachment B states that proposals should not include any personally identifying information, such as Social Security numbers or private health information of employees covered under the health insurance program. It also mentions that if the proposal requests Alternate A preference, evidence of catastrophic health benefits must be provided within five days after being notified of the contract award. Failure to provide proof of insurance coverage within the specified time will result in disqualification of preference status. The health benefit must be in effect before the bid package is submitted. The County reserves the right to monitor the contractor's compliance with providing the health benefit, and violation of this condition may lead to immediate termination of the contract. The definition of "Catastrophic Health Benefits" is provided, stating that it refers to an insurance policy that covers all medical-related expenses arising from catastrophic events. The policy should cover affected employees and their families after the employees pay initial charges of $3,000 for a single covered individual or $5,000 for two or more covered individuals for medical costs resulting from any one catastrophic event. Attachment C discusses environmentally responsible procurement practices implemented by Salt Lake County. It requires all entities doing business or entering into a contract with the County to comply with federal, state, and local environmental laws, rules, and regulations. Compliance with these laws is considered when evaluating the integrity and responsibility of a business. The County may decline to award a contract to any entity that is non-compliant or has been suspended, proposed for debarment, debarred, ineligible, or excluded from contracting with another government entity due to environmental non-compliance. The bidder/vendor/contractor is required to certify that they are not currently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, declared ineligible, or excluded from a contract or purchase due to environmental non-compliance. They should also disclose any indictments, charges, convictions, civil judgments, administrative orders, or terminated contracts/purchases related to environmental non-compliance within the last three years. The bidder/vendor/contractor must notify the County if their certification was erroneous or has become erroneous due to changed circumstances. Knowingly providing an erroneous certification may result in contract termination for default. The bidder/vendor/contractor is also required to ensure that any subcontractor/supplier complies with the certification requirements.
