Item Title
C-8 Renewal of 2012-2013 List of Physicians and Medical Facilities authorized to conduct physical examinations and drug tests required for certain groups of employees
Issue/Rationale
School Board Policy and Florida Statutes require physical examinations and drug tests for certain employees and job candidates. Physicians/Facilities used in administering physical examinations and drug testing of employees and the fees charged for those services must be approved by the School Board. Eighteen (18) requests to submit a bid to conduct district physical exams were sent to local physicians in Clay County, Jacksonville and Starke. The request to submit a bid to conduct district drug/alcohol screens was sent to the local facility used by First Lab, Inc., the state authorized agency to serve as collection sites for these services. The charges shown on the attachment are the physicians and quotes received. They are considered reasonable and are recommended for approval.
Recommended Action
Approve the Physicians/Facilities and costs as presented.
Financial Impact
Approximately $64,247 has been budgeted for physical examinations and drug and drug/alcohol tests for certain employees and job candidates. The quotes received and recommended are considered reasonable.
