Purchases will be made in accordance with an existing Interlocal Cooperative
Agreement with the City of Cedar Hill, Texas as allowed by Texas Local Government
Code, Section 271.101 and 271.102, Cooperative Purchasing Program. A resolution
considering the initial contract for emergency medical supplies was approved by Council
in 2013. The contract was for an initial one-year period with three optional, one-year
renewals. If approved, this will be the second renewal available.
Bids were received by The City of Cedar Hill, Texas for emergency medical supplies with
Bound Tree Medical, LLC. and Henry Schein Inc. being awarded primary and secondary
contracts. Henry Schein Inc. declined to renew their contract with The City of Cedar Hill,
Texas and the City awarded Bound Tree Medical, LLC. as the primary contractor. The
Fire Department staff and Purchasing reviewed the contract for specification compliance
and determined that this annual contract would provide the best product, service and
pricing for meeting the needs of the City.
The purpose of this contract is to establish fixed annual pricing for emergency medical
supplies on an as -needed basis for the Fire Department to equip five mobile intensive
care units. Bound Tree Medical, LLC. has agreed to renew with an increase of 4% to 5%
due to increases in materials and transportation used in the manufacturing of the
products they were awarded.
Staff recommends approval.
