Contracted Injury Prevention Services for the Fire Department

This contract seeks to engage a contractor to deliver proactive movement programming for members of the Pasadena Fire Department (PFD) aimed at reducing workplace injuries and enhancing overall physical resilience. Unlike the current reactive physical therapy services provided only after injuries occur, the program’s focus is on preventative measures to support faster recovery, reduce workers’ compensation claims and costs, accelerate return to duty, and educate personnel about proper movement function and dysfunction. The contractor is also responsible for developing Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and metrics to demonstrate the effectiveness and value of the services provided. Issued by the City Manager's Office of Pasadena, California, this solicitation (2026-RFP-0011) was posted in mid-December 2025, with responses due in early January 2026. The contract is targeted to be performed within California and involves collaboration primarily with the city’s fire department personnel. Points of contact for the solicitation include a Management Analyst IV and a Project Manager, ensuring thorough coordination and communication throughout the contract period. The overall objective is to shift from a reactive to a preventive model in injury management for fire department members, ultimately improving occupational health outcomes and operational readiness.
