Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Finance and Management to modify and extend two (2) existing Universal Term Contracts (UTCs) for the option to obtain Health Clinical Supplies with Henry Schein Inc. CC#000504, expires 3/8/2024 and Bound Tree Medical LLC CC#005886, expires 6/12/2025. These contracts provide for medical equipment and accessories, patient care, and treatment products used by the Columbus Public Health Department in various clinics. This modification is necessary to ensure supplies are available for the care of patients.
These contracts, PO219622 (Henry Schein, Inc.) and PO214487 Bound Tree Medical, LLC) were established in accordance with Request for Quotation RFQ013896 and authorized under Ordinance Number 3282-2019 and will expire December 31, 2023. In accordance with the bid specifications, the City and Henry Schein Inc. and Bound Tree Medical LLC can extend the contract for two (2) additional one (1) year terms subject to mutual agreement and approval of proper City Authorities. The parties renewed the contracts per the authority under Ordinance 3282-2019, for an additional one-year term. Because Ordinance 3282-2019 authorized only a one-year term renewal, it is necessary to modify the contract per Columbus City Codes Section 329.09(b) to extend the contracts. The new contract expiration dates will be December 31, 2024.
EMERGENCY DESIGNATION: The Finance and Management Department respectfully requests this legislation be considered an emergency measure to insure there is no interruption of goods/services provided.
FISCAL IMPACT: No funding is required to modify and extend the option contracts. The Columbus Public Health Department must set aside their own funding for their estimated expenditures.
