RE: Bid for Emergency Medical Supplies
BACKGROUND
Each year the Oshkosh Fire Department operating budget allocates dollars to provide medical supplies
for their operations. In 2008 the City of Oshkosh Purchasing Division and Fire Department solicited
bids for emergency medical supplies as part of a purchasing consortium of over 20 Fire Departments
across Wisconsin. With the expiration of this agreement in 2011, Purchasing and Fire Department
staff have updated the consortium's medical supplies list and re- solicited the bid to vendors.
ANALYSIS
The bid was advertised in the local paper and posted on our online NovusVendor notification system.
Bids were received on June 30, 2011. The bid tabulation is attached. Both vendors met the bid
specifications. Bids were divided into three sections: disposable items, non - disposable items and
medications. Prices shown on the bid tab reflect the total price if one of each item in that section were
purchased. Comparatively the total individual price of all three sections for Bound Tree Medical
($8,972.02) was less than Emergency Medical Products ($9,023.99). The primary award criterion for
this bid however is the cost of the disposable section items as these products are generally purchased
more frequently (e.g. weekly or quarterly) than the other sections and would thus have a larger impact
on the total annual costs for these products. As the bid tab indicates Bound Tree Medical had the
lower disposables cost ($1,207.96). Using this criterion Fire Department and Purchasing Division
staff have concluded Bound Tree Medical is the most cost - effective bidder for these medical supplies.
This bid will be for three years with an option to extend the bid for an additional year. Each Fire
Department that participates in this contract will be ordering and invoiced separately by Bound Tree
Medical. Once approved, this bid will also be extended to all WAPP (Wisconsin Association of
Public Purchasers) members should they wish to piggyback on this contract.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Fire Department has $79,700 allocated in the medical supplies account (100- 0230 - 6557- 00000) of
their 2011 operating budget.
RECOMMENDATION
Purchasing reviewed the bids and is recommending the Common Council award this bid to Bound
Tree Medical.
