Occupational Medical

The City of Modesto, California, through its Human Resources Department, has issued Request for Proposals (RFP No. RFP-00071) for Occupational Medical Services, with proposals due electronically via the OpenGov Procurement portal by March 24, 2026. This solicitation seeks qualified proposers to provide comprehensive occupational health services primarily for public safety personnel, including pre-employment physical examinations, medical evaluations for job fitness, respirator clearances, infectious disease screenings, vaccinations, and related diagnostic tests. Services must adhere to applicable federal, state, and local regulations such as California POST standards, NFPA guidelines, Cal-OSHA rules, and GINA (2008). Providers are required to maintain appropriate licensure, carry specified insurance coverage, and ensure that medical evaluations and clearance reports are delivered electronically within two business days. The scope encompasses multiple job classifications with detailed examination protocols, accommodating modular bidding on service components. The contract term begins July 1, 2026, for one year with up to three optional one-year renewals, totaling a possible five-year duration. Evaluation of proposals is based on a best-value trade-off approach with emphasis on technical capability, experience, scheduling availability, staffing, reporting, references, and cost, totaling 100 points plus 5 bonus points for additional mobile clinic services. The City reserves discretion to award to the proposal that best meets its needs rather than lowest price alone. Contract requirements include compliance with confidentiality and nondiscrimination laws, independent contractor status of the provider, assignment constraints, and comprehensive insurance and indemnification provisions. Payments will be processed via the City’s ePay electronic system or manual check with standard municipal fiscal controls but no federal invoicing systems. Inspection and acceptance of services occur at the provider’s facility in Modesto, with final acceptance managed by the City Purchasing Division. The RFP mandates submission of requisite financial, reference, and compliance documents, with no small business set-aside or socioeconomic preference indicated. Overall, this agreement establishes a structured framework for delivering timely, compliant occupational medical services to safeguard the health and regulatory compliance of City personnel.
