Medical/Physical Examinations

The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), specifically District 2, is seeking a medical services contractor to provide comprehensive medical and physical examinations for Maintenance and Support employees applying for Class A or B Drivers Licenses. The procurement is an Invitation for Bid (IFB #02A1544) covering four specific examination types: Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) Renewal Examinations, Respiratory Compliance Examinations, Audiometric Examinations, and Pre-Employment Medical Examinations. The contractor must employ a physician licensed in California with a Medical Board of California Certified Physicians license and maintain a medical facility within 50 miles of the District 2 Region Office in Redding, California. The original bid was due on May 17, 2016, at 2:15 PM, with an addendum extending the submission to May 24, 2016, at the same time. The contract term is scheduled from June 1, 2016, through April 30, 2018, with estimated examination quantities including 120 DMV Renewal Examinations, 120 Respiratory Compliance Examinations, 30 Audiometric tests, and 40 Pre-Employment Examinations. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive responsible bidder meeting all specified requirements.

The procurement includes a 25% Small Business participation goal and encourages Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) participation with a potential 5% bid incentive. Subcontracting is explicitly prohibited, which means the winning bidder must directly provide all medical examination services without using third-party administrators or external medical clinics. The bid documents indicate that the contractor will be responsible for providing all necessary personnel, labor, equipment, materials, and testing facilities to complete the required examinations. While specific budget ranges are not detailed, the bid includes a structured pricing mechanism where bidders must provide per-examination pricing across the four examination types. The jurisdictions involved in this procurement include Shasta County and Riverside City, though the primary focus appears to be on Caltrans District 2's regional needs. The contract aims to ensure consistent, high-quality medical examinations for employees requiring commercial driver's licenses, with a focus on maintaining workplace health and safety standards.
