FINANCIAL BUSINESS REQUEST (FBR)
Motion/Request:
title
MOTION to grant a bid waiver in the amount of up to $34,000 to Yale New Haven Health for firefighter physicals.
end
Background:
Previously, in September 2022, finance reviewed, and the town council authorized a bid waiver for the same amount to Physicians One for firefighter physicals. The AES received correspondence from Physicians One on 09/29/2022 stating that the vendor will no longer offer appointment style firefighter physicals as proposed in their own RFP. No other bids were received for appointment style physicals for the firefighters; Yale New Haven Health is willing and able to provide them at the Pequot Health Center Occupational Health Facility.
Department Comment/Recommendation:
YNHH pricing is similar to that of Physicians One, ranging from $350-500 per physical depending on the examination components clinically required. The clinic style of exams that Physicians One proposes in their 9/29/22 email continue to be an undesired arrangement. Yale is able to provide appointments, however they do not offer weekend appointments which is their main drawback.
Finance Director Comment/Recommendation:
Funding for firefighter physicals was approved in the fiscal 2022/2023 budget (10120401-56100).
