24-237 Wellness Center

The City of Augusta, Georgia is requesting proposals from qualified vendors to provide on-site medical services and a wellness program for the city's Human Resources Department. The procurement seeks a vendor to deliver primary care, urgent care, new hire/public safety physicals, health risk assessments, chronic condition management, and other occupational health services to approximately 2,300 employees, dependents, and pre-65 retirees covered under the city's self-funded medical plan. Key objectives include improving employee health and productivity. Proposals are due by August 29, 2024, and Augusta intends to award a minimum 3-year contract with options to renew for up to 2 additional years. The city may conduct finalist presentations and site visits to evaluate proposers' current on-site clinic operations.

While there is a 0% local small business goal for this procurement, successful bidders must still negotiate in good faith with any local small businesses that respond. The current provider's contract has expired, and the city is open to considering a fixed-fee cost structure in addition to a cost-plus model. The expected budget for the health center is $2.6 million, with a planned go-live date of January 1, 2025. Augusta reserves the right to accept a proposal as submitted or to negotiate with the selected proposer.
