Report
Summary
This contract is needed to continue receiving uninterrupted Medical Health Near Site Clinic Services through Banner Employer Solutions, LLC. Approval of this agreement will allow Banner Employer Solutions, LLC to continue the operation of the near-site clinic at its current location in downtown Phoenix, and to continue providing common clinical medical services to both adults and children. Services include urgent care level services, injury care, primary care and wellness services. The agreement also includes access to on-site pharmacy and laboratory services. The use of these services will provide employees and their eligible dependents with greater flexibility and an additional resource for routine or unplanned urgent care level services.
Procurement Information
In accordance with Administrative Regulation 3.10, standard competition was waived as a result of an approved Determination Memo based on the negative impact to City employees and their eligible dependents from not having the option of a near-site clinic for routine or unplanned urgent care level services. Human Resources staff carved out medical health near-site clinic services from the solicitation for Employee Medical Health Plans Administrative Services (Request for Proposal HR 23-001) presently in process. This ensures fairness to all interested offerors, since all known third party administrators cannot provide these services.
The City will be issuing a competitive solicitation process in 2024 for Medical Health Near-Site Clinic Services.
Contract Term
The contract will be effective through Dec. 31, 2025. Provisions of the contract include one additional one-year option to extend the term.
Financial Impact
The aggregate amount shall not exceed $3,000,000 and will be paid by the City's Health Care Benefits Trust Fund. No General Funds will be used.
