Renew the contract with Bound Tree Medical for paramedic supplies for the Fire Department and
gloves for the Police Department; for a one-year period in an annual amount not to exceed
$217,200.
DISCUSSION
The Fire Department's Paramedic Division provides emergency paramedic services throughout
the City of Santa Ana. Currently, eight paramedic units are in service on a daily basis and utilize
supplies such as general first aid, IV solutions, OB delivery kits, bandages, needles, splints,
medical tapes, gauze, burn packs, ice packs, breathing treatment supplies etc. Engine crews
also carry general first aid supplies for limited treatments in the field. Paramedic supplies are
purchased for such needs, and patients are billed when services are rendered. In addition to
paramedic supplies, the Police Department's Jail Facility and Forensics Lab will order latex
gloves for use during daily operations.
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. Bound Tree Medical has performed satisfactorily
during the past contract period and has agreed to renew the contract without an increase in
pricing. Staff recommends the first renewal of the contract.
