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 first renewal.
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. 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. By awarding a primary and a secondary contract it assures product
availability to avoid delays if the primary vendor is unable to meet order requirements.
Bound Tree Medical, LLC. and Henry Schein Inc. have agreed to renew with no increase
in pricing.
Staff recommends approval.
