Department: Human Resources Caption: Approve the selection of BlueCross BlueShield of Georgia as the Augusta, Georgia Health Insurance Provider for 2011. Background: Augusta has more than 2,400 employees eligible for the medical plan Premiums are split 77.5% Employer/22.5% Employee The total cost for this year will be approximately $18,600,000 The plan is currently funded using a fully-insured arrangement with BCBSGA BCBS is also the provider for retiree Smart Value coverage for Augusta, GA. Analysis: The initial renewal for 2011 with BlueCross BlueShield of Georgia came back with a 36.9% ($6,900,000) increase in premium. After receiving this information it was recommended that we issue an RFP and see if we could get a better offer for health insurance providers. Two companies submitted proposals (BlueCross BlueShield of Georgia and Coventry Healthcare of Georgia) and the proposals were reviewed by Benalytics based on 4 factors (RFP Questionnaire 30%, Financial Ratings 10%, Network Access 10% and Cost 50%). After the review and assessment by Benalytics the selection committee met to discuss the results and make a selection. The committee selected BlueCross BlueShield of Georgia as a result of the meeting and began negotiations. After negotiations the premium for 2011 was further reduced from $22,484,193 to $22,326,804. . Blue Cross Blue Shield has proposed an additional 3% reduction if a 97/103 contingent premium agreement is accepted. The County would pay 97% of the full premium for the plan year. If the experience is less than 97% no additional premium is required, if experience is between 97% and 103% additional premium is required up to 103% of premium, if experience is over 103% then only 103% of premium is required. The potential premium savings for accepting this proposal if the experience is less than 97 % is approximately $670,000. Financial Impact: The total estimated cost for 2011 is: $21.657, 000 using the contingent premium arraignment. The maximum additional premium exposure under this arraignment is approximately 1.35 million. Alternatives: Do not approve BlueCross BlueShield of Georgia as Augusta, Georgia’s Health Insurance Provider for 2011 for employees and retirees. Recommendation: Approve BlueCross BlueShield of Georgia as Augusta, Georgia’s Health Insurance Provider for 2011 for employees and retirees using theCover contingent Memo premium arraignment.

Disadvantage Business Enterprise (DBE) Augusta-Richmond County, Georgia does not operate a DBE, MBE or WBE Program for Augusta funded projects, as a Federal Court has entered an Order enjoining the Race-Based portion of Augusta’s DBE Program. Instead Augusta operates a Local Small Business Opportunity Program. However, for various projects utilizing the expenditure of State or Federal funds, Augusta enforces DBE requirements and/or DBE goals set by the Federal and/or State Agencies in accordance with State and Federal laws.

Background: The Painter I at the Municipal Building retired at the beginning of 2010. Before we fill this position, we are requesting this change to align our staffing with the work requirement. Analysis: Maintenance work at the Municipal Building requires that personnel be skilled in a number of aspects of building maintenance. The individual formerly in the Painter I position actually spent the majority of his time doing tasks other than painting. This action brings our staff capabilities in line with the work requirements. Both positions are the same pay grade (Grade 38)so no additional funding is required. Financial Impact: There will be no cost as this is a title change to an existing, funded position. Alternatives: 1. Approve changing the Painter I Position at the Municipal Building to Maintenance Worker I. 2. Do not approve the change. Recommendation: #1. Approve changing the Painter I Position at the Municipal Building to Maintenance Worker I. Funds are Available in the Following No additional funding is required.

Clerk of Commission Cover Memo Administrative Services Committee Meeting 10/11/2010 1:00 PM Motion to deny bid Protest regarding item 10-142- RFP to Lease the Patch Golf Course Department: Procurement Caption: Motion to deny bid protest regarding item 10-142- RFP to Lease the Patch Golf Course. Background: The Recreation Department submitted an RFP to lease the Patch in accordance with the Augusta, Georgia Code. Among the specifications for this project was a requirement that proposers have an Augusta, Georgia Business License. The Patch in Augusta, LLC submitted a proposal but did not have an Augusta, Georgia business license. There were no proposers that qualified for this RFP. The Patch in Augusta, LLC filed a protest indicating that it believed that it could not obtain an Augusta Business License unless it already had a contract to lease the Patch Golf Course. Analysis: The Recreation and Procurement Departments contend that an Augusta, Georgia business license could have been obtained by the protestor to be in compliance with the required specifications for this project, but no such license was obtained. However, since there were no compliant proposers, it is recommended that the project be re-solicited. If the project is not re- solicited, it is recommended that the protest be denied. Financial Impact: None. Alternatives: Waive the requirement to have an Augusta business license and award the RFP to the protestor. Recommendation: Deny protest and re-solicit the project. Funds are Available in the Following N/A. Accounts: REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY: Clerk of Commission Cover Memo Attachment number 1 Page 1 of 2 Attachment number 1 Page 2 of 2
