CITY OF SAN BERtRRDINO - REQUEST .QR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
The city currently has an agreement with Dr. Arnold M. stein to
provide Class I, II and III pre-employment medical examinations
and DMV medical examinations. The cost of a Class I examination
by Dr. Stein is $155.50 and does not include the audio/visual
testing and a chest x-ray.
The police Recruitment Committee, in its effort to reduce the
time it takes to bring police and Fire Safety and Safety
Dispatcher employees on board, solicited proposals from six
medical facilities for the purpose of providing a "one stop"
medical screening facility. At its meeting on September 17,
1991, the Committee reviewed the proposals submitted and
unanimously voted to accept the proposal submitted by the San
Bernardino Industrial Medical Clinic, and the civil Service Board
approved the proposal on September 24, 1991.
The rates for this service are listed below:
Chest X-Ray
Standing EKG (optional)
$165.00 (with audio/visual test)
$15.00
$20.00
Pre-employment Examination
Steroid Evaluation (optional) $150.00
This initial agreement for Class I examinations will be effective
from November 1, 1991 through June 30, 1992 with an estimated
cost of $28,800.
