Explanation
Need: The Civil Service Commission needs to enter into a contract with the Ohio State University for pre-employment physicals and cardiovascular stress testing of public safety recruits in preparation for Police and Fire Academy classes in 2011.
Bid Information: In 2010, the City of Columbus Civil Service Commission published a Request for Proposals (SA003768) for these services and accepted proposals through December 16, 2010. Three proposals were submitted by the deadline. An evaluation committee reviewed these proposals in accordance with the criteria set forth in the RFP, which included cost, competence, quality and feasibility of proposals, past performance and ability. The selected proposal offered the lowest costs for the services as well as board certified physicians experienced in occupational medicine. Therefore, the Civil Service Commission seeks to award the contract to The Ohio State University.
Emergency Designation: Emergency legislation is requested as the current contract expires on February 28, 2011 and to allow sufficient time for the Divisions of Police and Fire to process public safety recruits and schedule medical appointments prior to the start of upcoming Academy classes.
Contract Compliance Number: 31-6025986, governmental agency, no expiration date.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funding for this service was budgeted in the Civil Service Commission's general fund budget.
