From the meeting
At its September 17, 2026 budget organizational meeting, the commissioners and staff discussed county health insurance as one of the biggest budget drivers. Human Resources Director Tracy Benton said the county was adding two new plans with deductibles and bringing in a Health Savings Account to reach 80% utilization. Kevin Kelley said the county had contacted seven commercial carriers and all had declined, and the county had not gone to bid in 18 years.
The goal was to move away from self-insured coverage and get to fully funded by 2029.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
When will Waldo County issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Waldo County's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
How can vendors engage with Waldo County before the RFP is published?
Vendors who reach out during the planning window can help shape requirements and build relationships with the decision-makers running the project. A free Civic IQ account sends you the pre-RFPs that fit what you sell, with the AI brief and the decision makers for the top matches in each digest.
