ATTACENMTS :
AP BY:
Three Bids
This item is a request for authorization to proceed with stress tests for
approximately one-third of the fire department. We rotate the firefighters
through this stress testing on a three-year cycle. This year we have 13
persons who would be in need of taking the test.
In past years, we have used Fairview Ridges Hospital in Burnsville for this
testing at a cost of $125.00 per firefighter. This year the bid from them
increased substantially to the amount of $225.00 per firefighter. For that
reason we sought bids from other surrounding hospitals which are able to
provide this service. As you can tell from the bids, somewhere in the $200
range appears to be the going price for this particular service at this
time. Both Fairview Ridges Hospital and South Suburban Medical Center are
the low bidders at $225, however, in talking with both of them it appears
that South Suburban Medical Center can probably do more for us as far as
accommodating our firefighter's schedules. For that reason we would be
going with South Suburban Medical Center at a cost of $225.00 per
firefighter and with 13 firefighters the total cost for testing this year
would be $2,925.
Monies for this particular expenditure has been budgeted in Account
#101-42210-01-305.
RECOW1ENDED ACTION:
Motion to authorize the fire department to spend $2,925 to provide
stress tests for 13 of its firefighters with the expenditure coming from
Account #101-42210-01-305.

Dear Chief Aker:
In regards to your request for a 1992 price quote for
Cardiopulmonary Stress Testing, we have had to increase our
pricing substantially, both in order to remain competitive and
to offset an increase in physician monitoring and
interpretation fees. The price of Cardiopulmonary stress
testing in 1992 will be $225.00, up from last year's price of
$125.00. Please feel free to call with questions regarding
testing.
Sincerely,
Dan Andreasen, RRT

Dear Scott:
Thank you for the opportunity to give you a bid on the stress
tests for your fire department.
The cost to your department will be $270.00 per patient. This
includes both stress/treadmill test and report from the physician.
If this is acceptable we can work out the details as to scheduling
and reports/letters that you may need.
We are looking forward to working with you.
Sincerely,
Pauline Belkey
