REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: JUNE 4, 2012 TITLE: CONTRACT AMENDMENT AND CONTRACT RENEWAL WITH BOUND TREE MEDICAL (SPEC. NO. 07-103) CITY MANAGER RECOMMENDED ACTION CLERK OF COUNCIL USE ONLY: APPROVED ? As Recommended ? As Amended ? Ordinance on 1st Reading ? Ordinance on 2nd Reading ? Implementing Resolution ? Set Public Hearing For_ CONTINUED TO FILE NUMBER Amend the current contract with Bound Tree Medical in the amount of $17,300 for a total annual amount not to exceed $234,500. 2. Renew the contract with Bound Tree Medical for gloves for the Police Department for a one-year period in an annual amount not to exceed $70,000. DISCUSSION On April 7, 2008, the City Council awarded a contract to Bound Tree Medical for a three-year period with provision for two one-year renewals. The amount was based upon prior usage; however, items required have exceeded staff estimates. In addition to gloves, the Fire Department's Paramedic Division purchases supplies necessary for emergency paramedic services. With the departure of the Fire Department to OC Fire, staff is processing final invoices to close out the prior agreement. Staff recommends authorizing an amendment to the contract for $17,300 for current purchases. The Santa Ana Police Department utilizes gloves in daily operation at both the laboratory and the jail facility. Gloves are necessary in the routine processing of chemical and biological materials that have the potential for harmful exposure. This is particularly the case in crime scene investigations and jail operations. As a result, proper personal protective equipment, including latex and non-latex gloves, are essential to protect staff from this exposure. Renewal of the contract will be for the Police Department only and reflects a 70% reduction in the overall contract amount. Staff recommends exercising the final renewal option for $70,000 for the next contract year. 22A-1
