Cancer Screening Physical <br />DESCRIPTION <br />The vendor will play a vital role to help prevent the disturbingly high incidences of cancer <br />and heart disease in Lino Lakes firefighters. The Lino Lakes firefighters have two-and-a-half <br />times the risk of developing cancer and acute coronary syndromes than other Minnesotans. <br />Firefighters face chronic exposure to heat, smoke, diesel exhaust, and toxic flame <br />retardants. These carcinogenic chemicals are absorbed, inhaled, and ingested into the <br />firefighters’ skin, airways, and gastrointestinal system at building fires, car fires, dumpster <br />fires, even kitchen fires. Carcinogens also accumulate on and inside the firefighters’ <br />protective bunker gear and in their fire stations. These carcinogen exposures help account <br />for the very alarming discovery that with our small agency cancer has found its way to our <br />firefighters. We have experienced one of our staff requiring to be disabled and retired out <br />because of cancer. As an industry, firefighters have elevated rates of cancers of the brain, <br />lungs, colon, prostate, bladder, kidney, and skin. Every firefighter will obtain a thorough and <br />confidential firefighter physical exam and undergo the screening tests listed below for <br />prevention and early detection of these specific cancers annually. Annual exams shall cover <br />the following: Blood pressure, pulse ox, respiratory rate, temperature, oxygen saturation, <br />weight and body-fat index, thorough skin exam, eye exam and hearing testing, oral exam, <br />heart and lung exam, abdominal and testicular exam, prostate and rectal exam, fecal occult <br />blood testing, pelvic and pap for females, and vascular and neurological exams. Annual <br />testing shall cover the following: Comprehensive metabolic and chemistry panel, liver <br />function tests, hepatitis profile, complete blood count, thyroid panel, hemoglobin A1c, <br />fasting lipid profile and blood glucose, urinalysis and urine biomarkers, EKG, PSA, <br />pulmonary function, colonoscopy, exercise stress echocardiogram test, and mammograms. <br />QUANTITY UNIT PRICE TOTAL <br />38 $210.00 $7,980.00 <br />BUDGET CLASS <br />Contractual
