EXHIBIT "A" SCOPE OF WORK LPFD has developed a contracted position within the Fire Department for a licensed physician (meeting qualifications) to monitor and conduct the Department's Wellness- Fitness Program as described. Under the direction of the EMS Manager, the Department Physician will provide services to maintain an effective wellness and fitness program that encompasses injury prevention, medical, physical, and mental well being. This Program will provide optimum employee care while being in compliance with State and Federal requirements and the International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) and International Association of Firefighters (IAFF) Wellness-Fitness Initiative, 3`d edition (WFI) (Attachment A). The Department Physician will be involved with the health, wellness, fitness and safety of all 118 uniformed, safety personnel from the beginning of their career (initial baseline evaluation), throughout their career (annual fitness/health evaluations and education), and as retirement approaches. Scope of service will include active participation with program opportunities, medical counseling and education. Certain services (such as blood draws and immunizations) will require the vendor to visit the fire station to accommodate the unique nature of the Firefighter schedule. Confidentiality of medical information is a critical aspect of medical and fitness evaluations. The unauthorized release of personal details that may be recorded as part of a medical evaluation can and does cause legal, ethical, and personal problems either for the employee, the employer or the examining physician. All information obtained from medical and fitness evaluations is confidential, and the employer shall only be provided a statement regarding fitness for duty, necessary work restrictions, and appropriate accommodations. Scope of work for this project includes the following tasks: Task 1 - Provide initial baseline medical and fitness evaluations for LPFD uniformed employees: Baseline: (New Employees) 1. Medical History Questionnaire (Conducted by Physician) The medical history questionnaire is developed to provide baseline information with which to compare future medical concerns. This questionnaire will be completed with follow up information on an annual basis, which will focus on changes in health status. The LPFD physician will work in conjunction with City's contracted medical physician to obtain medical information from the pre-employment exam. 2. Medical Evaluation (Attachment A) A.
