On-Site Physical Examination for Firefighters

The City of Edinburg, Texas, has issued solicitation 2025-07 for a vendor to provide comprehensive on-site annual physical examinations for its firefighters. The primary objective of this initiative is to promote early disease detection, health promotion, and the monitoring of long-term effects resulting from exposure to biological, physical, or chemical agents. By identifying health changes related to harmful working conditions and providing personnel with information regarding occupational hazards, the city aims to limit out-of-service time through preventative intervention and recommend appropriate rehabilitation to decrease re-injury rates. The scope of work requires services to be compliant with NFPA 1582 and NFPA 183 standards, encompassing a wide array of assessments including cardiopulmonary evaluations with EKG and stress tests, behavioral health screenings, skin cancer assessments, vision and hearing tests, and ultrasound screenings. Additionally, the vendor must provide blood laboratory tests, fitness evaluations, and medical clearances for OSHA respirators. Proposals must be submitted by May 27, 2025, and the resulting agreement will hold the vendor liable for negligent performance while ensuring all work products remain the property of the City of Edinburg.
