Explanation

BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Safety to modify the current contract (EL007896) to renew for a fourth year as allowed under Section 3.2 of SA002702, to be effective until February 29, 2012 and to increase the amount on the contract with Mt. Carmel Occupational Health for testing services as needed for the Division of Police's Health and Physical Fitness Program in the amount of $175,000.00. Under Article 18 of the collective bargaining agreement between the City and the Fraternal Order of Police, Capital City Lodge #9, each bargaining unit member has an opportunity to participate in the Physical Fitness Testing Program each year. A member who elects to participate is required to complete an annual physical examination on his or her own time. The contract for the annual physical testing is with Mt Carmel Occupational Health and Physical Testing Services.

Contract Compliance No.: 31-4379602 (NPO) expires 4/29/2012

Emergency action is requested so that testing may continue and be in compliance with the collective bargaining agreement between the City and the Fraternal Order of Police, Capital City Lodge #9.

The Division of Police budgeted $250,200.00 in the 2011 General Fund operating budget for various medical related services for its employees, including this physical fitness testing contract. A total of $190,000.00 was encumbered and/or spent in 2009, and $200,000 in 2010 for these services.

The cost of this contract has increased over the past years because participation in this program was voluntary through December 31, 2007, but is now required for those officers initially hired on or after January 1, 2008. In addition, higher numbers of employees are voluntarily taking advantage of the program than in past ...
