BACKGROUND: As a result of a Request For Proposal process in accordance with Section 329.14 of the Columbus City Codes, four bids were submitted for Employee Benefits Consultant Services.

The consultant services will assist Employee Benefits Risk Management with general consulting services, assist in the selection of the employee health care plan administrators and perform a Workers' Compensation analysis.
