Paramedic supplies are purchased <br />for such services, and patients are billed when services are rendered. The <br />Police Department Jail Facility also orders supplies such as latex gloves <br />for use during daily operations. <br />On December 2, 2002, the City Council awarded a contract to Bound Tree <br />Medical for a three-year period with provision for two, one-year renewals. <br />The vendor has agreed to renew the contract; however, the vendor has <br />requested a nine percent increase in pricing due to manufacturer price <br />increases. Staff verified that this increase is consistent with the <br />market. The vendor has performed satisfactorily during the past contract <br />period and staff recommends the final renewal of the contract. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />Funds are available in the Fire Emergency Medical Services and Police <br />Detention Services Operating Materials & Supplies accounts (account nos. <br />11-323-6391 and 11-349-6391). <br />22J-1 <br />CITY MANAGEK <br />
