Dollar-Limit Increase to the Term Contract for Emergency Medical Supplies and Pharmaceuticals for the Mesa Fire and Medical Department (Citywide)
Pressures related to these products have drastically increased, due to the pandemic. This includes additional need, availability, price increases, and purchasing products not explicitly called out for in the contract because they are otherwise unavailable. Additionally, the expansion of the Medical Transport Units, as well as other response units, has led to an increased order volume that was not originally anticipated in this contract at its inception. The department is requesting the additional funds to continue through the rest of the term for future needs of the department.
The Mesa Fire and Medical Department and Purchasing recommend increasing the dollar-limit with Bound Tree Medical, LLC, by $290,000, from $710,000 to $1,000,000 annually, with an annual increase allowance of up to 5%, or the adjusted Consumer Price Index.
