On May 17, 2022, the Township received four (4) proposals in response to the RFP, including proposals from the following respondents: Claims Resolution Corporation, Inc. (“CRC”) 323 S. Pitney Road, Suite 200 Galloway, NJ 08205 Inservco Insurance Services, Inc. (“Inservco”) 3150 Brunswick Pike Lawrenceville, NJ 08048 PMA Management Corp. (“PMA”) 330 Fellowship Road Mount Laurel, NJ 08054 Qual-Lynx (“Qual-Lynx”) 100 Decadon Drive Egg Harbor Township, NJ 08234 The Respondents included the following fee proposals: Respondent Fee Proposal CRC $22,000 ($15,800 + one-time fee of $6,200 for data conversion) Inservco $62,900 PMA $45,000 Qual-Lynx $32,100 Evaluation As to the first four (4) criteria all four Respondents demonstrated a competent level of qualifications and experience for both each company as well as the primary and support staff identified in each proposal with each Respondent having at least twenty (20) years of experience providing TPA services. All four (4) Respondents have included references to municipalities of a similar size to the Township and municipalities and entities geographically near the Township demonstrating a familiarity with the Township that demonstrates their ability to perform the Contract for the Township. Ultimately, the price discrepancy in the proposals was the deciding factor in the evaluation of the proposals. CRC’s proposed a Fee that is more than $10,000 less than the fee to the next lowest fee proposed and $40,000 less than the highest proposed fee. This pricing difference steered the evaluation and recommendation of the award of the Contract to CRC over the other Respondents who were all similarly qualified.
