| SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS | |
| Accept the Highest Ranking Proposal from Lakeside Occupational Medical Centers, Inc. - Request for Proposal (RFP) #12118-MST Occupational Physical Examinations and Drug Testing (Business Division) | |
| EXECUTIVE SUMMARY | |
| On August 8, 2012, the Procurement Department, in conjunction with the Safety and Risk Management Department, issued an RFP for professional services to provide physical examinations, drug testing, and random and post-accident drug and alcohol tests. The medical service provider yearly conducts over 6,500 physical examinations and required drug tests for pre-employment hires, exams for classifications where physical duties vary, return-to-work clearance, and other services as may be required by district policy and/or local, state, and federal laws and regulations.
Three vendors responded to the solicitation and a committee of Safety and Risk Management Department personnel evaluated the proposals and recommended awarding to the highest ranked vendor, Lakeside Occupational Medical Centers, Inc. Lakeside provided a proposal that was $114,000 lower than the next highest ranked vendor. Additionally, this proposal is a substantial savings over current pricing (due to increased discounts and modifications to some tests, as prescribed by the Safety and Risk Management Department and as stated in the RFP). The initial term for this award shall be from November 14, 2012 through November 14, 2017, with two additional one-year renewal options. This multi-year agreement allows for fixed pricing for three years with a one-time increase of 5 percent, beginning year four. The RFP allows the district to terminate the agreement with a 30-day notice. The Superintendent is authorized to approve any extension agreements, per the terms of the specifications. |
