Report
Summary
The Contractors will continue to provide the Phoenix Fire Department (PFD) with Emergency Medical Service (EMS) Medical Supplies Locker Systems on an as-needed basis. PFD provides emergency medical services to patients throughout the greater Phoenix area. High volume medical supplies are frequently used by PFD in the treatment of these patients, making it necessary to be able to allow for the bulk dispensing of emergency medical supplies. EMS medical supplies must be stocked and readily available.
PFD recently conducted an internal assessment of its medication and medical supplies needs. As a result of this assessment, PFD will be combining multiple contracts of similar medical items into one procurement. Approval of the extension will provide Procurement additional time to issue the solicitation and secure multiple contracts for EMS medications and medical supplies.
Contract Term
The contract term will be on a month-to-month basis through Jan. 31, 2020.
Financial Impact
The aggregate will not exceed $2,200,000. The revised aggregate value will be $13,034,600. Funds are available in the Fire and Police Department's budget.
Concurrence/Previous Council Action
