IN RE: INSURANCE AND SAFETY DIVISION-VISION CARE COVERAGE
AWARD OF CONTRACT
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Finance Committee on March 6, 1986, specified
that the award of a contract for vision care insurance would
require Finance Committee approval and adoption by the Board
of Commissioners; and
WHEREAS the Insurance and Safety Division developed
specifications and solicited bids requiring service costs
for coverage of 386 County employees immediately, and possible
future coverage of 2,857 employees; and
WHEREAS the administration presented a tabulation of
bids received from four (4) vision care providers; Blue
Cross/Blue Shield, D.O.C., Lynn Optical Association, and Pearl
Vision; and
WHEREAS a review of the specific details of these bids
indicates that Blue Cross/Blue Shield's bid offered greater
service opportunities and benefits not provided by the other
bidders such as;
1) 1,500 provider locations through participating
opticians, thus making the service available through-
out the County as opposed to a few localized outlets
2) Higher limits on examinations and frames
3) Provides options for employees to visit either an
opthomologist or an optician; and
WHEREAS on July 3, 1986 the Finance Committee has
recommended the award of the contract to Blue Cross/Blue
Shield
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County
Board of Commissioners awards the vision care insurance
coverage contract to Blue Cross/Blue Shield
