SUBJECT
Title
Authorize a three-year master agreement for battery powered intraosseous needle driver systems for the Fire-Rescue Department - Teleflex LLC, sole source - Estimated amount of $1,697,373.75 - Financing: General Fund
Body
BACKGROUND
This action does not encumber funds; the purpose of a master agreement is to establish firm pricing for goods, for a specific term, which are ordered on an as needed basis according to annual budgetary appropriations. The estimated amount is intended as guidance rather than a cap on spending under the agreement, so that actual need combined with the amount budgeted will determine the amount spent under this agreement.
This master agreement will provide for the purchase of battery powered intraosseous needle driver systems for the Fire-Rescue Department. The EZ-IO battery powered intraosseous needle driver system allows paramedics to deliver fluids and medication when intravenous access is not available.
As part of the solicitation process and in an effort to increase competition, the Office of Procurement Services used its procurement system to send out email notifications to vendors registered under relevant commodity codes. To further increase competition, the Office of Procurement Services uses historical solicitation information, the Internet, and vendor contact information obtained from user departments to contact additional vendors. Additionally, in an effort to secure more competition, the Small Business Center Department sent notifications to chambers of commerce and advocacy groups to ensure maximum vendor outreach.
