The objective of this contract is to secure audiometric testing to determine if employees are experiencing any loss of hearing associated with their jobs. The Offeror must have a mobile unit that has a testing lab inside. The unit should be able to test and teach 4-6 occupants per session. The Offeror must also have a local hearing center in Central Oregon or the ability to contract with a local vendor where we can send employees who may have missed the pre-scheduled dates for hearing tests at specified locations and times. Hearing conservation training is required also and needs to be provided at the hearing test appointment. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations require employers to perform ongoing audiometric testing for employees who are exposed to a noise level at or above 85 decibels for 8 hours. The US Forest Service and BLM has approximately 300 employees who are, or may be, exposed to 85 decibels of noise at least one day during the year.
