EOty1� ,.,�� Request for Action <br /> River <br /> To Item Number <br /> Mayor and City Council 4.9 <br /> Agenda Section Meeting Date Prepared by <br /> Consent August 3, 2015 Lauren Wipper, Human Resource Representative <br /> Item Description Reviewed by <br /> FirstLab Agreement Addendum Cal Portner, City Administrator <br /> Reviewed by <br /> Action Requested <br /> Approve,by motion, an addendum to the agreement with FirstLab for drug and alcohol testing services <br /> for commercial drivers. <br /> Background/Discussion <br /> In 2008, the city entered into an agreement with FirstLab to provide drug and alcohol testing <br /> administration for our commercial vehicle drivers as required by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety <br /> Administration. Pre-employment and random selection testing administration,lab and collection site <br /> management, and medical review of test results are a sample of the required elements that FirstLab <br /> provides. We use the Fairview Clinic in Elk River for our collection site and FirstLab contracts with <br /> Medtox for laboratory services. <br /> FirstLab has added an Annual Subscription Fee of$250.00,which requires an addendum to our original <br /> agreement. When we received notice of the fee,we researched service providers used by other cities. We <br /> found that most agreements varied by cost based on the method of collection provided; some have on- <br /> site collection, some use a designated clinic, and some have a service administrator that does its own <br /> collection. The results were that that the city would not benefit from making a change at this time. <br /> The North Memorial Clinic in Elk River currently does collection and is considering program <br /> administration in the near future,which we will consider when it becomes available. <br /> Financial Impact <br /> The Annual Subscription Fee is $250.00. <br /> Attachments <br /> ■ FirstLab Agreement Addendum <br /> POWERED 6T <br /> Template Updoted 4/14 INAMIRE1 <br />
