Background:
Reason for Recommendation: The Human Resources Department, Risk Management Division has contracted with Occu-Med LTD., to provide occupational health services, specifically in the areas of pre-employment (post-offer) physical evaluations and fitness-for-duty examinations. Because of the need for new job classification profiling and assignment to evaluation groupings, Occu-Med has requested revisions to the language in previous agreements to allow for profiling of job new job classifications as they are created. Previous agreements were limited to the job classifications listed in the agreement at the time of execution. County Counsel is currently reviewing the agreement, a draft of which is attached for reference.
The previous agreement expired on November 5, 2009. This agreement is retroactive to November 6, 2009 to avoid a gap between contracts. Due to the departure of the primary staff assigned to this program, the contract drafting and approval process was not initiated until early October, which did not provide enough time to complete the process prior to expiration of the old agreement.
Action to be taken following Board approval: The Human Resources Department, Risk Management Division will continue processing the agreement, including obtaining County Counsel's approval.
