Request Summary (Agenda Caption):
title
Request for approval of a renewal option with The Segal Company (Southeast), Inc. dba Segal for benefits consulting services for Harris County for the period of June 28, 2025 - June 27, 2026 at a cost of $630,000 (210443), MWBE Contracted Goal: 20%, MWBE Current Participation: 31.1%.
end
Background and Discussion:
The Office of Human Resources & Risk Management recommends renewal of the benefits consulting services
provided by The Segal Company for the period of June 28, 2025 - June 27, 2026, at the same terms and
conditions.
Expected Impact:
Continued assistance in controlling medical plan costs by providing industry expertise; objective, data-driven
recommendations; data analysis and benchmarking; and strategic solutions for cost-saving results. In addition,
Segal will continue to assist in the RFP process for Harris County’s health and related benefit programs
(medical/pharmacy, dental, vision, life/AD&D and LTD, etc.) to cultivate a dynamic, cost-effective benefits
package
Alternative Options:
If Commissioners Court does not approve this contract renewal, Human Resources & Risk Management would have to continue to provide these consultative services internally, but not likely at the same level as the firm.
