Item 9A - MemoItem 9A M E M O R A N D U M February 21, 2023 To: From: Subject: Action Requested: Background Information: Shana Yelverton, City Manager James Brandon, Chief of Police Item 9A - Approve expenditure to Life Extension Clinics, Inc., dba Life Scan Wellness Centers for annual physical exams for police and fire personnel in an amount not to exceed $128,000. Approve expenditure to Life Extension Clinics, Inc., dba Life Scan Wellness Centers for annual physical exams for police and fire personnel in an amount not to exceed $128,000. Studies have found that the average life expectancy of a police officer is now 57, almost 22 years younger than the general civilian population. The physical, mental, and emotional stress and demands of policing, coupled with the odd, lengthy hours of shift work take a tremendous toll on officers’ wellbeing. To mitigate this risk, the police department will provide annual physical wellness exams to its employees through Life Scan Wellness Centers to help prevent and detect potential health problems before they become more serious. Standard 1582 of The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) requires the fire department to provide an occupational medical program that will reduce risks and provide for the health, safety, and effectiveness of fire fighters operating to protect civilian life and property. In addition, the fire department’s participation in the Northeast Fire Department Association (NEFDA) requires medical testing for those fire fighters serving on the HAZMAT team. Currently, the fire department provides physical wellness exams to its employees through Life Scan Wellness Centers. These comprehensive exams provide extensive testing in a myriad of areas and have proven effective in helping to identify health conditions early to facilitate better outcomes. Financial Considerations: Funding for this project was approved in the FY 23 General Fund budget. The total amount for this expenditure exceeds $50,000, which necessitates City Council approval. These professional services are exempt from the bidding process under Chapter 252.022 of the Texas Local Government Code.
