A member who applies to participate is required to complete an annual physical examination on his or her own time.
BID INFORMATION: Formal bid # SA004173 was opened on December 15, 2011 for a Physical Health and Fitness Program for the Division of Police and the Division of Fire.

A committee consisting of personnel from Police, Fire, Safety Director's Office, FOP, IAFF, and the City's Human Resources Department evaluated the proposals on five categories: Competence, Quality and Feasibility, Ability, Past Performance and Pricing Structure. The committee recommended that the contract should be awarded based on these categories to Mount Carmel Health.
