Explanation
This ordinance authorizes the Board of Health to enter into a sole-source supply contract with SciAps Inc in an amount not to exceed $167,125.00 for the purchase of five X-550 RoHS Analyzers, five HUD Lead Paint Apps, and any applicable shipping costs.
SciAps Inc is the only manufacturer of the X-550 RoHS lead paint analyzer, which does not require a radioactive source and can measure lead levels down to required limits. This vendor sells the analyzers factory direct and does not utilize dealers or distributors. Program staff identified the need for these specific analyzers based on the lead screening requirements from the Grantor and their expertise in the field of environmental lead detection and prevention. For these reasons, it is requested that SciAps Inc be awarded this contract based on a sole source exemption per City Code 329.19.
SciAps Inc contract compliance number is CC-045712.
This ordinance is submitted as an emergency to not delay important lead screening services to clients and their families, to guarantee quoted pricing from the vendor, and to abide by the grant deliverable timeline.
FISCAL IMPACT: The sole-source supply contract with SciAps is entirely funded by the ODH-Public Health Lead Investigations grant program. ($167,125.00)
