Grant Wallace, director of the Employee Benefits Division, presented a contract for the subcommittee's review with Navitas Business Solution to provide technology services for the division's benefits portal.

Wallace said the vendor operates the division's "AR benefits portal system which manages not only our administrative aspect but also the member-facing portal and the portal that we work with with the health insurance representatives that are in the school districts and state agencies." He described the contract as an initial three-year agreement valued at $12,000,000, with a seven-year term at full extension valued at $22,000,000 if fully exercised.

Wallace also clarified vendor naming and a typographical error in the packet: the vendor name in the contract is "Navitas Business Solution" (spelled with an "a"); the cover letter contains typographical errors that do not appear in the contract document. A committee member, Senator Hickey, asked whether the motion approving the contract should include a direction to correct the cover letter spelling; Wallace said the contract itself was correct and that the out-of-state contract page was correct.

The committee moved to review and approved C2 by voice vote. The chair called for "All in favor," members said "Aye," and the chair announced "Motion passes." The transcript does not record a roll-call tally or any opposition. The packet before the subcommittee included the contract document and related cover materials; no additional contract exhibits or contingent funding sources were described during the discussion.

The subcommittee concluded its business and adjourned after approving the C2 motion.
