ACTION
April 28, 2026
Provide for the orderly government and administration of the
affairs of the City
Adopt Resolution 13648
Employee health care benefits contract. Adopt Resolution 13648 to:
1. Authorize, approve and direct the Mayor to execute, on behalf of the city. Contract No. 2026-
059-COS with Cigna.
2. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute any other documents and take such other
actions as are necessary to carry out the intent of this Resolution.
BACKGROUND
The City has self-insured a portion of its medical and dental benefit plans since 1990. In January
2004, all medical plans became self-insured. Operationally, a self-insured employer designs its own
schedule of benefits, pays for those benefits, and typically utilizes the services of an external
organization to provide medical and utilization review services, administer the plans and provide
customer service.
On July 1,2014, the City entered into City Services Contract No. 2014-009-COS (the “Contract") with
Cigna to provide medical, pharmacy, dental, employee assistance plan, and stop-loss coverage for a
ten-year term. The contract was extended for a two-year period through Resolution No. 12769. In
August 2025, the City issued a request for proposal (RFP) and selected Cigna for an initial one-year
term.
Cigna will provide for program administration and access to provider network services or for medical,
pharmacy, dental, employee assistance programs and behavioral health benefits for City employees
and eligible beneficiaries. Additionally, the contract includes stoploss insurance. Under a self-insured
arrangement the employer assumes financial risk for claims instead of paying a monthly premium to a
carrier who assumes the risk. In order to protect the plan from unpredictable, catastrophic claims, an
employer may purchase stop-loss insurance for a fixed premium rate.
The one-year term approval will allow for additional analysis and consideration of all available options
within the marketplace which may include an unbundled plan approach.
ANALYSIS & ASSESSMENT
The contract’s current overall annual cost of $3,700,000 (including all lines of coverage) and
represents the same administrative costs as the prior contract. Currently the City has 2,165
employees, 4,905 total members enrolled, plus a small retiree population. These costs are fixed and

Scottsdale as a self-funded medical plan.
FISCAL IMPACTS
The costs of these benefit programs are split between the City of Scottsdale and employee payroll
deduction.

event oif any termination. Contractor must immediately stop all work, and must immediately
cause any of its suppliers and Subcontractors to cease all work. As compensation in full

incurred by Contractor’s suppliers or Subcontractors, which Contractor could reasonably
have avoided.

Contract with seven (7) days’ notice for cause in the event of any default by Contractor,
or if Contractor fails to comply with any of the terms and conditions of this Contract.

Page 3 of 12
Contract No. 2026-059-COS
Contractor will be liable to City for any and all damages sustained by reason of the default
which gave rise to the cancellation.
In the event Contractor is in violation of any federal, state, county or city law, regulation or
ordinance, the City may terminate this contract immediately upon giving notice to
Contractor.
If the City improperly cancels the Contract for cause, the cancellation for cause will be
converted to a termination for convenience.
7.3 Funds Appropriation. If the Scottsdale City Council does not appropriate funds
to continue this Contract and pay for charges under this Contract, the City may terminate
this Contract at the end of the current fiscal period. The City agrees to give written notice
of termination to Contractor at least 30 days prior to the end of its current fiscal period and
will pay to Contractor all approved charges incurred through the end of this period.
8. INSURANCE.
8.1
General. Contractor agrees to comply with all applicable City ordinances and state
and federal laws and regulations. Without limiting any obligations or liabilities of
Contractor, Contractor must purchase and maintain, at its own expense, this Contract's
stipulated minimum insurance with insurance companies properly licensed by the State of
Arizona (admitted insurer) with an AM Best, Inc. rating of B ++ 6 or above or an equivalent
qualified unlicensed insurer by the State of Arizona (non-admitted insurer). Failure to
maintain insurance as specified may result in termination of this Contract at the City’s
option, while acting reasonably.
8.2
Certificates of Insurance. A current Acord Certificate is acceptable. Failure to
provide an appropriate Certificate of Insurance will result in rejection of your certificate,
delay in Contract execution, and/or termination of Contract. Additionally, Certificates of
Insurance submitted without referencing a Contract number may be subject to rejection
and returned or discarded.
8.3
No Representation of Coverage Adequacy. By requiring the insurance stated
in this Contract, the City does not represent that coverage and limits will be adequate to
protect Contractor. Failure to demand any evidence of full compliance with the insurance
requirements stated in this Contract or failure to identify any insurance deficiency does not
relieve Contractor from, nor may it be construed or considered a waiver of. Contractor’s
obligation to maintain the required insurance at all times during the performance of this
Contract.
The City hereby acknowledges and agrees to the following: Since The Cigna Group's
(Contractor’s parent affiliate) (“TCG’s”) insurance programs are nonstandard and
considered tailored, where TCG’s insurance policies are heavily manuscripted, almost all
of TCG’s insurers require it to execute a confidentiality and nondisclosure statement as a
precondition to obtaining preferential insurance coverage terms. Moreover, as a publicly
traded organization, disclosure of insurance policy copies may be construed as a
disclosure of material, nonpublic information. Therefore, Contractor is unable to disclose
copies of insurance policies to a non-entity of TCG or a non-regulatory entity or agency.
19028868
Page 4 of 12
Contract No. 2026-059-COS
Contractor shall upon request provide evidence of insurance coverage(s) via the
industry-standard ACORD® Certificate of Insurance form.
8.4
Coverage Term. All insurance required by this Contract must be maintained in
full force and effect until all work or services required to be performed under the terms of
this Contract are satisfactorily performed, completed, and formally accepted by the City,
unless otherwise specified in this Contract.
8.5
Claims Made. In the event any insurance policies required by this Contract are
written on a “claims made” basis, coverage shall continue uninterrupted throughout the
term of this Contract by keeping coverage in force using the effective date of this Contract
as the retroactive date on all “claims made” policies. The retroactive date for exclusion of
claims must be on or before the effective date of this Contract and can never be after the
effective date of this Contract. Upon completion or termination of this Contract, the “claims
made" coverage shall be extended for an additional three (3) years using the original
retroactive date, either through purchasing an extended reporting option, or by continued
renewal of the original insurance policies. Submission of annual Certificates of Insurance,
citing the applicable claims-made coverages and provisions specified herein, shall
continue for three (3) years past the completion or termination of this Contract.
8.6
Policy Deductibles and/or Self-Insured Retentions. The policies stated in these
requirements may provide coverage which contains deductibles or self-insured retention
amounts. Any deductibles or self-insured retention are not applicable to the policy limits
provided to the City. Contractor is solely responsible for any deductible or self-insured
retention amount.
Contractor’s insurance programs are subject to various levels of self-insured retentions
or deductibles. The City acknowledges and agrees that, with over 85 Insurance policies
in place in over 30 countries, CTG/Contractor is unable to seek prior approval from any
of our counterparties (or clients) for levels of self-insured retentions or deductibles or
othenwise self-insured risks. The City acknowledges that CTG is a Fortune 50
organization with financial ratings and strength comparable to those of its insurers.
8.7
Use of Sub-Contractors. During the term of this Agreement, if a Subcontractor
is engaged in any way to provide services to the City specifically under the Contract,
Contractor must execute a written agreement with Subcontractor containing the same
Indemnification Clause and Insurance Requirements stated in this Contract protecting the
City and Contractor. Contractor will be responsible for executing the agreement with
Subcontractor and obtaining Certificates of Insurance verifying the insurance
requirements.
As a standard insurance industry practice, the City acknowledges that Contractor
typically requires its subcontractors to maintain reasonable and customary types and
limits of
insurance. Subcontractor insurance requirements vary based upon factors such as
contract value, scope of services, availability of insurance, and financial exposure to
CTG. Standard insurance requirements may be waived based upon our overall supplier
risk assessment. City acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding anything to the
19028868
Page 5 of 12
Contract No. 2026-059-COS
contrary in this Section 8.7, Contractor is not required to specify levels and/or types of
insurance for its subcontractors.
8.8
Evidence of Insurance and Requirement Endorsements. Before beginning any
work or services under this Contract, Contractor must furnish the City with Certificate(s)
of Insurance, or available blanket endorsements as required by this Contract, issued by
Contractor’s insurer(s) as evidence that policies are placed with insurers as specified in
this Contract and provide the required coverage, conditions, and limits of coverage and
that any coverage and provisions are in full force and effect. If a Certificate of Insurance
is submitted as verification of coverage, the City will reasonably rely upon the Certificate
of Insurance as evidence of coverage, but any acceptance and reliance will not waive or
alter in any way the insurance requirements or obligations of this Contract. If any of the
required policies of insurance expire during the life of this Contract, it will be Contractor’s
responsibility to forward renewal Certificates within 10 days after the renewal date
containing all the aforementioned insurance provisions. Certificates will specifically cite
the following provisions endorsed to the Contractor’s policy:
8.8.1
The City, its agents, representatives, officers, directors, officials and
employees, as well as any federal agencies as may be required pursuant to
applicable laws and other agreements to which the City is subject, including, but
