Addendum #2, Family and Medical Leave Act Administration Services, Spec #99832

Respondents must communicate only with the Department of Procurement Services. All questions or requests for clarification must be in writing, sent by mail or email to [email protected] or fax at 312-744-7679, and directed to the attention of Altha Riley, Department of Procurement Services, Room 403 of City Hall and must be received no later than 4:00 p.m. Central Time, on Friday, April 20, 2012.

4. Section 5.2, Required Content of the Proposal, Item H, has been deleted in

its entirety and replaced as follows:

Cost Proposal

Respondent must provide a detailed cost proposal for the required Services according to Exhibit 4. The City reserves the right to negotiate rates, terms and conditions with selected Respondent. The City intends to negotiate the final terms and conditions for pricing with the Contractor(s) that is/are “finalists” in this competition. To the extent that a Respondent proposes alternative pricing models for which the City wishes to obtain competitive Proposals, the City reserves the right (but is not obligated) to obtain similar pricing models from other Respondents.

5. Section VII, Selection Process, Paragraph 4, has been deleted in its

entirety and replaced as follows:

The City will require the selected Respondent[s] to participate in contract negotiations. In order to award a contract that represents the best value to the City, the City reserves the right to enter into concurrent competitive price negotiations with one or more qualified Respondent(s). The City's requirement that a selected Respondent negotiate is not a commitment by the City to award a contract. Time is of the essence. If the City determines that it is unable to reach an acceptable contract with the selected Respondent(s), including failure to agree on a fair and reasonable cost proposal for the software and Services or any other terms or conditions, the Commissioner of the Department of Human Resources may ask the Chief Procurement Officer to terminate negotiations with the selected Respondent(s), and to negotiate with any of the other qualified Respondents, until such time as the City has negotiated a contract meeting its needs.

6. Section 1.1, Purpose of the Request for Proposal , paragraph 2, , has been deleted in its entirety an replaced as follows:

Addendum #2, Family and Medical Leave Act Administration Services, Spec #99832

The objective is to reduce the administrative burden of FMLA management, assure accurate management of the FMLA function, and improve the efficiency and management of FMLA-related absences for the 32 operating departments of the City of Chicago.

7. Section 2.1, Overview, has been deleted in its entirety and replaced as follows:

2.1 Overview

The Department of Human Resources (“DHR”) facilitates the effective delivery of City services by maintaining professional human resources practices and programs. DHR also is committed to a hiring system that is transparent, efficient, open and accessible to all qualified applicants. The purpose of the DHR is to serve the City by driving the best Human Resource practices, acting as stewards of change, and establishing and maintaining fair and transparent employment practices free of political influence. To accomplish our mission, we coordinate with other city departments, boards and commissions to attract, recruit, retain, motivate, develop the city‟s workforce; foster equal employment opportunities for all of our citizens; maintain a safe and lawful work environment for city employees; and establish cost effective procedures.

The City of Chicago is a municipal corporation with 32 operating departments with approximately 33,500 employees. The City‟s FMLA procedures are not centralized or managed by DHR and vary by the individual departments. Each department has one or more personnel administrators that manage and track FMLA for employees in their department. The personnel administrator or their designee is responsible for receiving and processing FMLA requests, as well as documenting or coding FMLA time in the City‟s CATA (Time and Attendance) system. CATA is an in-house time and attendance system developed by the City. The City will be transitioning from CATA to CyberShift, a web based solution for time and attendance. The City will convert to CyberShift in a five (5) wave transition process over the course of 30 months commencing August 2013. The Absence Workflow within CyberShift is designed to handle FMLA and other absence requests by a special workflow process setup so the requests go to a central person/department instead of the employee‟s supervisor. The configuration includes defining:

The absence codes that are eligible for FMLA

Number of weeks permitted to be on FMLA Leave in a rolling 12 months for the eligible codes

5 | P a g e

Addendum #2, Family and Medical Leave Act Administration Services, Spec #99832

Minimum number of days from Hire Date for the employee to be eligible

Minimum number of hours worked for the employee to be eligible

These variables can be configured to be the same for ALL employees, or they can be configured to be different for different groups. Whenever the employee tries to request an FMLA leave (or a supervisor tries to schedule one or enter an FMLA code in a timesheet), these rules would run and determine eligibility and deny the FMLA absence or allow it. All pertinent accrual balances would automatically be updated by the process.

The City allows the option for employees to use of sick time concurrently with FMLA leave. The FMLA notices, forms and employee “Rights and Responsibilities” are available to City employees on the DHR intranet website. The City also provides to applicants FMLA Employee “Rights and Responsibilities” on the CAREERS website where positions are posted and applicants submit job applications.

Currently, the City administers FMLA on a calendar year, with an interest to transition to a rolling year for its employees. Accurate tracking of FMLA “Intermittent Leave” and the time required by the personnel administrators to effectively manage FMLA issues is of concern. The City‟s Personnel Rules impose restrictions in dual employment by employees who are on sick leave, medical leave or FMLA leave for their own illness if the dual employment is inconsistent with the reason for the leave.

The City currently does not count workers compensation leave against an employee‟s FMLA benefits. The City administers workers compensation internally with the exception of grant funded positions. The City offers at the employee‟s election and expense, Long Term Disability coverage. The City currently does not provide Short Term Disability coverage to its employees.

The City‟s administration of FMLA claims are decentralized and managed by the individual departments. In an effort to reduce the administrative burden of FMLA management, assure accurate management of the FMLA function, and improve the efficiency and management of FMLA-related absences, the City requests proposals from respondents in their ability to provide FMLA administration services for the City‟s operating departments.

8. Exhibit 1, Scope of Services, has been deleted in its entirety and replaced as follows:

SECTION II: Answers to 33 questions submitted for clarification of the RFP

Question 1: When is the target go-live date? Will the transition from CATA to

CyberShift have occurred in the Department of Streets and Sanitation and the

Department of Aviation? If not, when are these departments scheduled to transition to

the new CyberShift system?

Answer: The target go-live date for the Family Medical Leave Administration (FMLA)

Management services is as soon as possible. The Department of Streets and Sanitation and

the Department of Aviation are both scheduled to transition to CyberShift by summer 2012.

The other City departments will be transitioning to CyberShift from 2012 through the end of

2013.

Question #2: Regarding payroll and timekeeping systems CATA and CyberShift, will

all eligible employees be located on one eligibility data report?

Answer: Yes, both systems keep track of those employees whose worked time is at least

1250 hours over the previous 12 months and it is possible to create a report that will reflect

all eligible employees.

Question 2A: Will you allow for direct entry of information?

Answer: Yes, the City can arrange for limited views/access to our system.

Question 2B: Does your system accept electronic feeds?

Answer: Yes, although interfaces require additional programming.

Question 3: Please confirm if the new selected vendor will take over any open and

existing leaves by the time of the go-live date. If the new selected vendor is required to

takeover open and existing leaves, please provide the total estimated claims.

Answer: The City expects the vendor to take over any open and existing leave requests at

the time of the go-live date. As of this time, the estimated number of open and existing

Addendum #2, Family and Medical Leave Act Administration Services, Spec #99832

Question 5: For the DSS eligible leave population of 2,400, please provide 2010 and

2011 total initiated leaves, including approved, denied, intermittent and pended

claims. We are trying to determine the annual incidence rate to apply against the

eligible population. Based on the 2009 data, there were 192 intermittent leave

requests, 129 continuous leave requests, and 69 persons on duty disability.

Assuming the persons on duty disability is part of the leave process; the incidence

rate is close to 16%.

Answer: Please refer to new Exhibits 11, Continuous Leave Data by Department, and Exhibit 12, Intermittent Leave Data by Department, which provide data on continuous and intermittent FMLA leaves for all City of Chicago operating departments.

Question 6: For those employees that are out longer than the 12 weeks allowed for

FMLA and go into a Personal Disability Leave, are these claims considered a separate

claim, or the same FMLA claim with a different title.

Answer: These instances would be considered separate claims.

Question 7: For the CDA eligible leave population of 1,540, please provide 2010 and

2011 total initiated leaves, including approved, denied, intermittent and pended

claims. We are trying to determine the annual incidence rate to apply against the

eligible population. Based on the 2010 data, there were 95 intermittent leave requests

and 50 continuous leave requests. The incidence rate is close to 9.4%.

Answer: See Answer to Question #5.

Question 8: Please provide the average leave claim duration.

Answer: See Answer to Question #5.

Question 9: Is the RFP requesting Nursing or Non-nursing professionals to administer the FMLA? Perhaps a combination of both nursing and clerical?

Answer: A combination of both would be acceptable.

Question 10: For purposes of planning the roll out to the rest of the city departments, is there an average FMLA absence utilization rate across the various departments?

Answer: Please refer to the revised Scope of Services, Exhibit 1, which replaces the Scope of Services included in the original RFP. See Answer to Question #5.

Question 13: Other than the Excel spreadsheet used to track FMLA leave usage, are

there other data sources that will require a data conversion of information to the TPA?

If yes, please advise how many sources data will be converted from.
