Title
Authorizing the Mayor to execute a medical supply purchase agreement with Bound Tree Medical, LLC. (Bound Tree); authorizing General Fund expenditure for the same; waiving the competitive bidding requirements of TMC Chapter 187; and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
As a component of the Advanced Life Support (ALS) services transition from Lucas County to the City of Toledo, Fire has received equipment for managing Pharmacy Board-controlled medications, which requires software subscriptions and services to function, totaling $46,340 in expenses over the next three years.
Accordingly, Bound Tree has offered related expense rebates contingent on the satisfaction of various annual purchasing targets pursuant to agreement terms. That said, the sum of Fire’s related purchases has historically met or exceeded said targets, of which said purchase totals will only increase due to added ALS service supply needs. As such, Fire expects no issues meeting the set spending thresholds.
Bound Tree medical supply pricing is based on the 2021 Lucas County Bid Sheet. Said bid sheet is competitively bid and awarded. Bound Tree will extend the same discounts via said agreement until 12/31/26.
Summary
NOW THEREFORE Be it ordained by the Council of the City of Toledo:
SECTION 1. That the Mayor is authorized to execute a medical supply purchase agreement with Bound Tree, upon terms and conditions acceptable to the Director of Law and the Director of Fire and Rescue.
SECTION 2. That the following annual expenditure totals are authorized from General Fund Account Code 1001-53000-3341002EMSBUR for the purchases authorized in Section 1:
- Year 1 = $155,000
- Year 2 = $162,800
- Year 3 = $170,900
SECTION 3. That the Mayor is authorized to accept reimbursements and or rebates from Bound Tree for agreement-specified license charges and related fees, and enter any agreements necessary to effectuate the same.
SECTION 4. That this Council finds and determines it is in the best interest of the City to waive the competitive bid requirements of TMC Chapter 187 for the reason that Bound Tree medical supply pricing is based on a collaborative procurement model that selects commodity suppliers vis a vis a competitive bidding process.
SECTION 5. That the Finance Director is authorized to draw warrant or warrants against the above-referenced Account Code in payment of the obligations authorized in Section 1 and upon presentation of proper voucher or vouchers in amounts not to exceed those authorized above.
SECTION 6. That this Ordinance is declared to be an emergency measure and shall be in force and effect from and after its passage. The reason for the emergency lies in the fact that it is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, safety, and property and for the further reason that this Ordinance must be immediately effective in order to timely procure medical supplies as a component of the Advanced Life Support (ALS) services transition from Lucas County to the City of Toledo.
