Functional Testing for Employment

The City of Greensboro is soliciting proposals for a functional employment testing program to support its work injury and disability management program. The primary objective is to reduce on-the-job injuries by determining if applicants or employees can safely perform essential job functions through comprehensive post-offer functional employment tests, fit-for-duty tests, and physical fitness evaluations. The selected contractor must be certified in North Carolina for Physical or Occupational Therapy, possess at least three years of experience in functional employment testing, and be capable of conducting both on-site and off-site job analyses. Key deliverables include the submission of evaluation reports within three business days and the maintenance of stored interview data for three years following the contract's termination. The contract will be awarded based on best value, with evaluation weights distributed across overall capabilities (45 points), qualifications (25 points), price/cost (25 points), and local preference (5 points). Proposals must be submitted electronically via the Greensboro eProcurement System (GePS) by November 20, 2026, at 2:00 PM EST, and must not exceed twenty-five pages. Bidders are required to provide a basic fee for the service and a specific rate per visit. All contractors must adhere to federal and state privacy laws, including North Carolina General Statutes regarding public records, and provide a Certificate of Insurance meeting the City's minimum requirements.
