Description
The Newark Board of Education is seeking proposals for dental insurance coverage. The board is looking for a provider to offer a "Freedom of Choice" type plan with flexibility to switch plans between PPO and DHMO.

• Proposers must provide a quote using the existing rates and claims experience provided.
• The board expects to pay premiums within a 30-day grace period.
• The proposal must include a signed addendum acknowledging the terms and conditions of the solicitation.
