AUTHORIZATION TO ENTER INTO A SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR PUBLIC SAFETY PHYSICALS AND RELATED HEALTH SERVICES WITH STRENGTH TRAINING INCORPORATED (STI)
Staff Contact: Terry Garrison, Fire Chief
Purpose and Recommended Action
This is a request for City Council to authorize the City Manager to enter into a Services Agreement with Strength Training Incorporated (STI) for Public Safety Physicals and Related Health Services at the Glendale Regional Health Center (GRHC) for a 6-month term in an amount not to exceed $88,125, to extend the current agreement until a new Request for Proposal process can be completed.
Background
The GRHC is located within the Glendale Regional Public Safety Training Center (GRPSTC) and STI currently provides these services at the GRHC under a contract approved by the Council on June 23, 2015.
Analysis
A new Request for Proposal process has been started and it is expected to be completed prior to December 31st 2017. The need for Public Safety medical services in the interim continues and STI is capable and qualified to perform those services. City staff have begun the process of re-evaluating the use of the medical center at GRPSTC and how best to meet all the medical services needs of the City comprehensively, whether at the GRPSTC or another location.
This procurement has been approved by the city’s Materials Manager as a special procurement in which the situation presents a significant time restraint that does not allow for a competitive procurement to occur in time to assure there is no gap in service. Other agencies interested or currently using STI’s services will be able to use this contract through cooperative purchasing or they can elect to develop their own contract for these services directly with STI. The City assumes no responsibility for STI’s contracts with other agencies.
