Summary of Specifications:
This solicitation is issued to receive competitive proposals from qualified firms for an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for The University of West Florida ("UWF") located in Pensacola, Florida. The University intends to contract with a firm that specializes in continued EAP Services. The firm will provide confidential legal and financial consultation services; referral services and initial therapy/counseling, training and online information and services on Per Employee Per Month basis (PEPM). The EAP services are to be provided to UWF employees and their dependents as an employer-sponsored part of our employee benefits package. Employees and their dependents that are without UWF or other group medical private insurance coverage will not be excluded from EAP services, but will be responsible for all costs beyond the referral services and initial therapy/counseling provided by the EAP. To ensure confidentiality and to be more conducive to involving the entire family, the qualified firm must be able to provide EAP off-campus service facilities at convenient locations to the Pensacola main campus, the Ft. Walton Beach branch campus, the center at Eglin Air Force Base, and other instructional sites, and employee locations in Tallahassee, Gainesville, and Tampa. The program will accommodate approximately 1289 regular non-safety-sensitive (not regulated by DOT) UWF employees with an annual utilization rate of approximately 10%. The majority of UWF's regular employees are employed on the main Pensacola campus; however, the Ft. Walton Beach branch campus, the center at Eglin Air Force Base, and other instructional sites, and employee locations in Tallahassee, Gainesville, and Tampa, will receive EAP services as well. A significant portion of the UWF employees possess degrees (e.g. PhDs, Master's, and Baccalaureate degrees) and have diverse ethnic and racial backgrounds.)
