Physical Exam/Medical Testing Services

Shasta County and the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) are seeking a licensed California physician to provide comprehensive medical examination and testing services for Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) requirements. The procurement is an Invitation for Bid (IFB #04A4938) for physical exam and medical testing services, specifically targeting Class A and B Driver License examinations, DMV Annual Physical Examinations, Spirometry (Pulmonary Function Test), and Semi-Annual Airborne Lead Blood Base Line Testing. The contractor must provide all necessary facility, personnel, equipment, instruments, materials, and supplies to perform these medical services. The bid submission deadline is May 10, 2016, at 2:15 PM, with bid opening at 3:00 PM the same day, and the contract term is scheduled from June 1, 2016, through May 31, 2018. Key qualifications include current Medical Board of California certification and the ability to perform services within a 25-mile radius of the San Francisco/Oakland Bay Bridge Toll Plaza in Oakland. Estimated service quantities include 200 Class A and B Driver License examinations and 100 each of basic physical examinations and pulmonary function tests.

The procurement includes several set-aside and preference provisions to support small and disadvantaged businesses. A 5% small business preference will be granted to certified small businesses or microbusinesses, and while no specific Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) goal is mandatory, DVBE participation is encouraged with a potential 5% bid preference for 100% DVBE participation. The contractor must maintain specific insurance coverage, including $1 million per occurrence and $2 million aggregate for general liability, $1 million for automobile liability, workers' compensation, and $1 million for professional liability. Although the exact contract value is not specified, the estimated service quantities suggest a moderate-sized contract focused on medical testing and examination services. The procurement appears to be a competitive bid process designed to secure a qualified medical provider capable of meeting DMV regulatory requirements for driver medical assessments.
