FILE NUMBER
Amend the current contract with Bound Tree Medical in the amount of $17,300 for a total
annual amount not to exceed $234,500.
2. Renew the contract with Bound Tree Medical for gloves for the Police Department
for a one-year period in an annual amount not to exceed $70,000.
DISCUSSION
On April 7, 2008, the City Council awarded a contract to Bound Tree Medical for a three-year
period with provision for two one-year renewals. The amount was based upon prior usage;
however, items required have exceeded staff estimates. In addition to gloves, the Fire
Department's Paramedic Division purchases supplies necessary for emergency paramedic
services. With the departure of the Fire Department to OC Fire, staff is processing final invoices
to close out the prior agreement. Staff recommends authorizing an amendment to the contract
for $17,300 for current purchases.
The Santa Ana Police Department utilizes gloves in daily operation at both the laboratory and the
jail facility. Gloves are necessary in the routine processing of chemical and biological materials
that have the potential for harmful exposure. This is particularly the case in crime scene
investigations and jail operations. As a result, proper personal protective equipment, including
latex and non-latex gloves, are essential to protect staff from this exposure. Renewal of the
contract will be for the Police Department only and reflects a 70% reduction in the overall
contract amount. Staff recommends exercising the final renewal option for $70,000 for the next
contract year.
