e. Approve a Resolution Amending the Participation from Texas Health
Benefits Pool to Blue Cross Blue Shield for City Employees Health Benefits.
(Director of Human Resources Stephanie Beitelschies)
The City of Anna received a substantial renewal rate increase of 35% from
Texas Health Benefits Pool for the upcoming fiscal year. Recognizing that
such a significant increase is not sustainable for our organization, we have
engaged the services of our benefits consultants, Brinson Benefits, to
explore alternative options and ensure the best possible health benefits for
our employees. Brinson Benefits has assisted city staff in bidding the health
benefit market, determining the best options available for benefits coverage
for our employees and ensuring coverage is cost effective and providing the
same or better service.
By seeking alternative options through a bidding process, we were able
secure a more cost-effective health benefits solution with Blue Cross Blue
Shield that aligns with our financial capabilities. Blue Cross Blue Shield is
currently the health coverage provider for Texas Health Benefits Pool. The
transition to Blue Cross Blue Shield will have minimal to no impact on our
employees currently covered on the Texas Health Benefit Pool health plan.
Voluntary short- term and long-term disability, and basic and voluntary
(additional) life coverage will now be with Guardian. Dental and vision
coverage will remain with Guardian.
Staff recommends City Council approve the resolution amending the
participation for City Employees Health Benefits from Texas Health Benefits
Pool to Blue Cross Blue Shield.

C. Consider/Discuss/Action on a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to
execute a contract for landscape services with Zodega Landscape
Services, LLC. (Interim Assistant City Manager Greg Peters, P.E.)
The City of Anna is responsible for mowing and maintaining many areas of
public right-of-way and public works facility grounds in the community. It is
important to maintain a professional appearance for the public right-of-way
and city properties. Contract mowing is the most cost-effective way to
properly perform this work, as it requires less city staff and city
owned/maintained equipment.
The City of Anna is at the end of the active contract for mowing and
landscaping services. In order to properly meet the growing responsibilities
of mowing and maintaining public right-of-way and facility grounds, the City
publicly advertised a bid for these services. The City held a non -mandatory
pre -bid meeting on May 24, 2023. The City opened bids on June 8, 2023.
Two bids were received. The lowest qualified bid was received from Zodega
Landscape Services, LLC, dba Texas Seasons. Staff has reviewed the bids
and the references and qualifications of Zodega and is recommending the
City to enter into a contract for mowing and landscaping services.
The bid is on a per -acre basis for all of the areas identified by staff for the
contract. The bid includes the following scope or services:
Base Bid: $52,211.75. Mowing medians and right-of-way of the major City
Roads and FM 455. Bed maintenance for flower/landscape beds in the
median. (26x/yr) Alternate Bid 1: $36,504.00. Mowing of US 75 frontage
roads and SH 5 (6x/yr) Alternate Bid 2: $14,465.63. Mowing of County Road
Right-of-way which is within City responsibility (4-6x/yr) Alternate Bid 3:
$16,043.04 Mowing of Public Works Facilities (Water/Sewer Sites, 24x/yr)
Staff is proposing to fund the Base Bid and Bid Alternates 2 and 3. Staff is
not proposing to fund Bid Alternate 1, as TxDOT has changed contractors
and their maintenance of US 75 appears to be improving. However, if the
Council wants to fund the TxDOT mowing portion, an additional $37,000 of
funding is recommended to be added to the proposed budget.
The proposed budget is $84,000 for the next 12 months, which will begin
on August 1, 2023, and run until July 31, 2024.
