AP OVED BY:
This item is a request for authorization to proceed with stress tests for a
portion of the fire department during 1994. We rotate the fire department
through this stress testing on a three-year cycle. This year we have 15
persons who would be in need of taking their stress test.
All of our stress tests, in the past, were done by Fairview Ridges Hospital
in Burnsville with the exception of those that were done in 1992. During
1992 we engaged the services of South Suburban Medical Center in Farmington
because they had a slightly lower bid for these services.
As Dr. Detlefsen's office followed up and looked at the results of our
stress tests he indicated that, in his opinion, we were not getting equal
service from South Suburban Medical Center as we had been getting from
Fairview Ridges in Burnsville. Farmington was simply doing a stress test,
whereas Burnsville is doing a stress test and also giving us cardio-
pulmonary testing results along with a measurement of the amount of oxygen
being used during all of those tests. For that reason we would be going
with Fairview Ridges Hospital in Burnsville at a cost of $250.00 per
firefighter and with 15 firefighters taking the test the total cost for
testing this year would be $3,750.00.
Money for this particular expenditure has been budgeted in
Account #101-42210-01-305.
