Response 1. a. No, mobile suppliers are not expected to attend hiring fairs to perform Post-Hire exams.

b. The expected volume for onsite mobile services will depend on the number of onsite service days, the number of employees scheduled for assessment, and the type of assessment required.

c. Predetermined testing dates are established with the approved supplier. OUC personnel identify the testing site and determine which safety-sensitive and CDL employees are eligible based on business unit assignments. A list of eligible employees is provided to the supplier for randomization. The randomized list is returned to OUC before the test date. On the day of testing, program and test administrators arrive at the predetermined time to set up and conduct testing. OUC notifies selected employees through their supervisors or managers, and employees report to the designated site for testing.

i. Yes, the supplier is notified of random tests in advance. Testing is coordinated weeks ahead based on agreed-upon dates, employee shifts, and site-specific requirements.

ii. The agreeable arrival time for reasonable suspicion testing will be determined in coordination with the selected supplier.

Question 2. “Will OUC award a brick-and-mortar clinic if they are not in every County requested?”
