AGENDA
Consider approving multiple purchasing cooperative contracts for the purchase of medical
supplies used in the EMS Division.
Due to an increasingly limited supply and rising costs of medical supplies used by City EMS,
Fire and Police Departments, pricing was requested from six of the larger vendors who are
part of purchasing cooperative programs that meet State of Texas procurement
requirements. This will provide a more stable supply line and pricing by utilizing a larger
group with more buying power. Four vendors replied with pricing for 181 -line items separated
into nine specific categories. Each vendor was allowed to present their most competitive
cooperative pricing for review.
The current contract was awarded in 2019 for an estimated total annual amount of
$140,136.17. Since that award, the city has added three additional ambulances, so
quantities of supplies have been adjusted to maintain the supply needed for the additional
units.
Staff recommends that Boundtree Medical of Dublin, Ohio who submitted a proposal with the
lowest estimated annual cost of $262,166.78 be awarded as Primary vendor utilizing the
Buyboard contract and Life Assist, of Rancho Cordova, California who submitted a proposal
with an annual cost of $296,956.08 be awarded as Secondary vendor utilizing the National
Purchasing Partners (NPP) Contract, both cooperatives of which the City participates
Funds will come from the General Fund.
Approval of resolution.
Councilmember Feldschau moved to APPROVE A RESOLUTION THAT THE CITY COUNCIL HEREBY
APPROVES THE AWARD OF THE CONTRACT FOR THE PURCHASE OF MEDICAL SUPPLIES FOR USE BY
THE BEAUMONT EMS DIVISION TO BOUNDTREE MEDICAL, OF DUBLIN, OHIO, AS PRIMARY VENDOR IN

the creation of Beaumont Municipal Management District Number One. Following this, the
85th Texas legislature established the 364.E-acre district bordered on the north by Delaware

District, if enacted, will allow for provision of streets, drainage, water, sewer, and other
amenities to develop this large tract of land within the city.
As the Texas legislature has now enabled the district, next steps include a formal consent
by the City to formally create the district. Upon consent, the district will hold an organization
meeting to organize the District's Board and hold a bond and tax election. To conduct this
election, there must be residents living within the district. As such, placement of these
housing units will enable this to happen. As the Zoning Ordinance prohibits the placement
and use of manufactures housing units outside of housing parks, this temporary amendment
would allow these units to be placed and the election to be held. It should be noted that
there will be no tax increase related to the district beyond the boundaries of the district.
Approval of the Ordinance.

MEETING DATE: June 28, 2022
REQUESTED ACTION: Council consider a resolution authorizing the Interim City Manager
to execute amendment documents necessary between the City of
Beaumont and the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT)
related to the Advance Funding Agreement (AFA) for the 2020
Highway Safety Improvements Program (HSIP) Interconnect
Signals project.
BACKGROUND
On January 25, 2022, by Resolution No. 22-029, City Council authorized the City Manager to
execute an Advance Funding Agreement with TxDOT for the 2020 Highway Safety
Improvements Program (HSIP) Interconnect Signals project.
The amended scope of work for this AFA is described as interconnecting signals on the
following streets:
• Fourth St, From Calder Ave, to Sarah St.
• Gladys Ave. From Edson Dr. to Central Dr.
After project subinission TxDOT required the use of a contractor to implement the project rather
than City forces. With this change the costs drastically increased and the expected City cost
would balloon to an estimated $400,000. Because of the increase, the scope of work was
revised to include only the streets that could be done for the original city participation amount of
$66,520.00.
Interconnecting signals is the process of upgrading/installing equipment and software that will
allow adjacent signals along a roadway to communicate with each other and adapt the timing and
phasing sequences in real time based on the current traffic patterns. The engineering estimate
for the project is $660,290.00. The City's match will be $66,029,00, with Federal and State
Funds paying $594,261.00.
FUNDING SOURCE
