FROM
SUBJECT:
A Resolution of the Mayor and City Commission of the City of Miami Beach,
Florida Authorizing, by a 517ths Vote the Waiver of Formal Competitive
Bidding and Award ofa Standing Order to Mount Sinai Medical Center in the
Annual Estimated Amount of $35,000, for the Purchase of Emergency Medical
Supplies by the Fire Department.
ADMINISTRATIVE RECOMMENDATION:
To authorize the award.
BID AMOUNT AND FUNDING:
$35,000 (Estimated for one year)
Funding is available from a credit from Mount Sinai Medical Center to the City of Miami Beach
Health Facilities Authority.
ANALYSIS:
The Fire Department is requesting approval to renew a Standing Order for the purchase of
medical supplies, on an as-needed basis, to be used to replace those supplies expended on
emergency rescue runs.
The requested amount of $35,000 is based on $2,900 per month, determined by past purchasing
experience and estimates of future cost. The last request was approved on November 20, 1996,
Commission Memorandum No. 682-96.
The current arrangement the City has with Mount Sinai is extremely advantageous because
it not only results in substantial cost savings, but also eliminates the need for maintaining large
storage facilities for inventory. A cost comparison conducted in September, 2000, showed that
the prices charged by Mount Sinai are approximately 40% less that the prices available to the
City of Miami Beach on its yearly first aid contract.
