Danbury board approves medical-services provider for police and fire
Summary
The board approved awarding the city's independent medical exam (IME) and medical-services agreement to Imperium after a human-resources review found it offered a larger Connecticut physician network and uniform rates; First Choice and Occupational Medical On The Go were judged less suitable.
Chip Holcomb, purchasing agent, told the board that human-resources staff reviewed three proposals for medical services to provide independent medical exams (IMEs) and other required exams for police, fire and city positions.
Holcomb said the review found Imperium and First Choice comparable on some metrics but recommended Imperium because of a larger physician network in Connecticut and consistent rates for the same specialty across provider types. He said Occupational Medical On The Go did not meet all required services under the bid. Holcomb said the police pension board had been informed and signaled its approval of Imperium’s selection.
Holcomb moved to award and execute a two-year agreement with Imperium; Cara Prunty seconded, and the board approved the motion.
The record did not include detailed contract terms, specific per-exam rates, or the exact length of the awarded agreement beyond the purchasing agent’s stated two-year intent. The board did not request additional review at the meeting.
