DocuSign Envelope ID: 77AEB69E-2BOD-4BF3-AB64-91 FD1 1A920E3 PROPOSAL FOR ERGONOMICS SERVICES (TEC- 2017 -024) Orange County Finance and Administrative Services Hillsborough, NC November 20, 2017 PROPOSAL SUMMARY In an effort to assist Orange County Finance and Administrative Services in effectively managing and executing the ergonomics efforts, a proposal for ergonomic professional services is presented. Should the project involve less time than proposed, actual hours will be billed. A detailed description of professional services followed by a cost breakdown estimate per service is included based upon conversations with Alisa Cornetto. Upon receipt of a signed quote or purchase order, project timing and ECNC resource assignments will be confirmed. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF ERGONOMICS SERVICES 1. NC Government Partnership NC Government Partnerships are free to participating agencies and municipalities. The benefits are as follows: • Unlimited Center Membership Web Portal access • 40% discount on consulting services • Center workshops (delivered in Raleigh, NC) discounted 40% (unlimited attendees) /I. Develop Customized Ergonomics Program Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) and Program Gap Analysis The development of an Ergonomics Program Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) is specific to the company structure and processes. This document becomes the guiding framework for the implementation process and defines roles, responsibilities, and processes that support the ergonomics program. Such a deliverable would include meeting with the company personnel to gain a more thorough understanding of existing ergonomics, health and safety, engineering, training, and corrective action systems, processes, and protocols in an effort to maximize the integration of ergonomics into existing systems, processes, and tracking metrics. Understanding existing company infrastructure also helps ECNC complete a "gap analysis" on additional improvement opportunities relevant to the newly developed ergonomics program /process. The model drafted would follow the eight (8) major elements of any successful ergonomics process, namely: 1. Musculoskeletal Disorder (MSD) Management 2. Education & Training 3. Program, Compliance & Audits 4. Management Leadership 5. Employee Involvement & Accountability 6. Ergonomics Team(s) 7. Prioritization & Analysis 8. Hazard Reduction & Control In additional to a written policy, deliverables would include a group auditing form to assist with the regular systematic review of the functioning of the ergonomics process within the company infrastructure. Ill. Develop Customized Equipment Standards and Ergonomics Resources Development of equipment standards and employee resource documents should be completed during the final implementation of the SOP. These resources hinge upon the findings of the gap analysis and process defined in the SOP. Time and pricing estimation can be completed after the completion of Part II (listed above), and will be priced based on the Government Partnership Membership hourly rate of $90 /hour.
