Firefighter Physicals

Forsyth County, Georgia is seeking a qualified, licensed medical provider to perform comprehensive firefighter physicals for the Forsyth County Fire Department, meeting the current NFPA 1582 Standard for both current and new hire firefighters. The procurement involves conducting approximately 240-250 annual physicals, with two-stage examinations for incumbent employees (laboratory testing and medical examination) and a single-stage process for new hires. The Request for Proposal (RFP) 26-15-2410 requires detailed proposals addressing service delivery, staffing, qualifications, equipment, and comprehensive medical testing requirements, including cancer screenings, cardiac assessments, and fit-for-duty evaluations. Proposals will be evaluated using a 100-point scoring system, with points allocated across categories such as transmittal letter/firm information, technical qualifications, requirements, and references. The proposal submission deadline is October 16, 2025, at 2:00 p.m., with the contract term spanning five years from the date of award through December 31, 2030.

The RFP does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types. The medical provider must maintain extensive insurance coverage, including professional liability/medical malpractice insurance with $1,000,000 per occurrence and $3,000,000 aggregate limits, along with workers' compensation, general liability, automobile liability, and cyber liability insurance. While no specific budget range is detailed, the contract requires the selected provider to maintain medical records for a minimum of ten years, provide clearance determination letters for each firefighter, and submit summary reports at least twice per year. The county reserves the right to award contracts to multiple providers if no single vendor can adequately meet all requirements. The medical provider must offer onsite or facility-based physicals, conduct extensive medical screenings, and ensure HIPAA compliance throughout the contract period.
