SUBJECT:
Tri-Starr Personnel, LLC. professional services contract extension.
SUMMARY:
This Ordinance authorizes an extension of a professional services contract with Tri-Starr Personnel, LLC. to provide medical staff for the San Antonio Fire Department Wellness Center. The one-year extension will commence on October 1, 2016 for an amount not to exceed $300,000.00.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The FY 2010 budget approved the creation of a San Antonio Fire Department Wellness Program to monitor the health and wellness of its uniformed employees throughout their careers. This program was designed to provide early detection of serious medical conditions and encourage better health, thereby allowing our members to do their job more safely and effectively. The program was modeled after the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF), International Association Fire Chiefs (IAFC) Wellness-Fitness Initiative (WFI) and in accordance with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standards.
City Council Ordinance 2010-09-09-0785 authorized a professional services agreement with Tri-Starr Personnel, LLC for the provision of medical staffing necessary to perform annual medical physicals and health related education for all uniformed employees on September 9, 2010. City Council Ordinance 2015-06-18-0565 authorized the first renewal option to extend the original contract for a one-year period beginning on October 1, 2015.
ISSUE:
The SAFD would like to exercise the second renewal option to extend the contract for one additional year.
ALTERNATIVES:
City Council could elect to not approve the contract extension with Tri-Starr Personnel, LLC. However, without the extension, the San Antonio Fire Department would not have the necessary medical staff to oversee the conduct of medical physicals.
