Amendment No. 2 to Contract No. 100616-Pharmacy for Gila County Detention Medical

Background Information

On May 9, 2017, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract No. 100616 with Westwood Pharmacy, whereby Westwood Pharmacy provides prescription and over-the-counter medications.

On July 10, 2018, the Board of Supervisors approved Amendment No. 1 to Contract No. 100616 with Westwood Pharmacy extending the term of the contract for one additional year, from May 9, 2018, to May 8, 2019.

The Gila County Sheriff's Office medical unit provides medical services for those individuals incarcerated in Gila County at the Globe and Payson jail facilities. The medical units are comprised of a Physician, Physician's Assistant, two (2) Registered Nurses and three (3) Medical Assistants. When needed, and at the direction of the licensed Physician, the medical staff is required to provide prescription and over-the-counter medication.

Evaluation

Amendment No. 2 to Contract No. 100616 will serve to exercise the option to renew the contract for one additional year from May 9, 2019, to May 8, 2020 for a contract total of $75,000; and to remove from the contract the language "ISRAEL BOYCOTT CERTIFICATION: Contractor hereby certifies that it is not currently engaged in and will not, for the duration of this agreement, engage in a boycott of Israel as required by A.R.S. § 35-393.01. Violation of this certification by Contractor may result in action by County up to and including termination of this agreement.”

Conclusion

The Gila County Sheriff's Office is pleased with the services provided by Westwood Pharmacy to provide prescription and over-the-counter medications and would like to extend the contract for another year.

Recommendation

It is the recommendation of the Chief Administrative Officer and Finance Department Director that the Board rrenew the contract with Westwood Pharmacy for one additional year, so that Westwood Pharmacy may continue providing prescription and over-the-counter medications to those individuals incarcerated in Gila County at the Globe and Payson jail facilities.

Suggested Motion

Approval of Amendment No. 2 to Contract No. 100616-Pharmacy Services for Gila County Detention Medical to extend the contract term with Westwood Pharmacy for an additional year to May 8, 2020, at a cost of $75,000; and remove unnecessary language from the contract.
