CIRANNA, GENERAL MANAGER SUBJECT: APPROVAL TO ISSUE A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL FOR INDEPENDENT MEDICAL EXAM SERVICES AND RECORD REVIEWS AND POSSIBLE BOARD ACTION RECOMMENDATION That the Board authorize the General Manager to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for independent medical exam services and record reviews. BACKGROUND Pursuant to City Charter and Administrative Code requirements, LAFPP members who file for a disability pension must be examined by and a written report thereon rendered by a minimum of three (3) licensed and practicing physicians (other than the member’s treating physician or Worker’s Compensation doctor). The physicians also review the member’s prior medical records in preparing their report. Additionally, except in those instances in which the Board has determined that, due to the nature of the disability, no purpose would be served in having periodic medical examinations to determine whether a retired member is still disabled, a retired member may be required to undergo periodic medical examinations. In regard to survivor benefit applications when LAFPP members die while still active, a doctor’s report is required before a Board hearing can be conducted to determine whether the deceased member’s death was service-connected. Per Board Operating Policies and Procedures Section 3.7.B., the deceased member’s medical records must be reviewed by a minimum of one (1) qualified physician to establish an informed/objective/evidence-based medical opinion. DISCUSSION Staff currently utilizes Havura Enterprises LLC (Havura) and contracts with local panel physicians on an as-needed basis to perform exams, review medical records, and write reports in accordance with LAFPP guidelines and standards. Staff uses these doctors’ reports as the basis to prepare recommendations to the Board. Operating out of Arizona, Havura has maintained a panel of physicians who provide disability medical evaluation services (exams, record reviews, report writing) to LAFPP since 1994. These services have historically been provided on a non-contractual basis, which has provided staff with a degree of flexibility. However, in the past three years Havura has reduced their staff and is currently only providing services to LAFPP. Over time the available panel of doctors has diminished thus limiting the available appointments and increasing the distance that members must travel to see a doctor. Contracting directly with local panel physicians is also problematic. Staff must conduct research to locate qualified physicians that are willing to adhere to City contracting requirements. Staff believes there is value to identifying one or more companies to provide a larger pool of physicians within a range of specialties. By contracting with one or more companies, doctors could be closer to member residences, costs can potentially be reduced through negotiation and new member services could be utilized. On March 22, 2017, staff released a Request for Information (RFI) to: 1) explore the range of services that are currently provided by industry firms that specialize in performing independent medical examinations and record reviews; 2) learn about the latest industry best practices; and 3) consider optional resources to improve member services and reduce claims processing time. As a result of the RFI, a total of seven (7) respondents, both local and out-of-state, submitted information in April 2017. From the information gathered, Staff will be able to develop a comprehensive RFP to identify firms that offer: (1) access to a broader panel of physicians in a variety of specialties, i.e., orthopedics, neurology, internal medicine, cardiology, psychiatry, etc.; (2) appointment scheduling services; (3) offer transcription services and report preparation using LAFPP- defined medical evaluation criteria; and (4) offer patient transportation services, if needed. Upon approval by the Board, the RFP will be published on our website and the City’s website (Business Assistance Virtual Network - BAVN). Staff will also notify the seven (7) firms who responded to the RFI and mail notices to firms in similar industries. Staff anticipates the evaluation of responses, cost information and a recommendation for contract award to be presented to the Board no later than November 2017. BUDGET The 2017-2018 budget includes a total of $330,000 for disability medical exam services and record reviews. POLICY No policy changes are recommended.

CIRANNA, GENERAL MANAGER SUBJECT: HEADQUARTER FACILITY PROJECT – CLOSE-OUT REPORT AND POSSIBLE BOARD ACTION RECOMMENDATION That the Board receive and file the Close-Out Report on the Headquarters Building. DISCUSSION In December 2012, the Board authorized Sentinel Real Estate Corporation, one of the Board’s separate account real estate managers, to enter into a contract to purchase The Neptune Building. Subsequently in April 2013, the Board approved the purchase of the building for $12.8 million. The escrow closed on July 24, 2013 at a final purchase price of $12,730,000 plus closing costs. This purchase completed the search for a headquarters building that spanned several years. The Neptune Building is a 54,000 square foot four-story office building that was constructed in 1924. It is located at 701 E. 3rd Street on the Northeast corner of E. 3rd Street and Alameda Street. Staff currently occupies floors 2 – 4 and will continue leasing the 1st floor suites to generate revenue. The initial building purchase included a non-adjacent parking lot with twenty spaces that is located on E.
