Agenda Analysis
Analysis
This resolution approves the first amendment to contract number 6512425 between the Metropolitan Government and Barbara L. Brown for overdose prevention specialist services.
Sole source contracts may be awarded under the Metro procurement code when it is determined that there is only one source for the supply or services rendered. Section 4.12.060 of the Metro Code requires all sole source contracts having a total value in excess of $250,000 to be approved by the Council by resolution. The original agreement has an estimated contract value of $139,739.64 and a term of 24 months.
The resolution would approve an amendment that would increase the contract value not to exceed $373,219 and extend the term to 60 months. Ms. Brown would continue to serve as a resource to Metropolitan Nashville Police Department (“MNPD”) officials regarding opioid overdose and Naloxone administration. According to the sole source justification form, Ms. Brown is uniquely qualified to serve in this role based on her professional focus on drug treatment and prevention and her knowledge and involvement with MNPD’s community outreach regarding Narcan and drug overdoses.
Fiscal Note: This amendment increases the estimated contract value of the sole source contract 6512425 with Barbara L. Brown for overdose prevention specialist by $233,479.36 for a revised contract amount of $373,219 to be paid from Fund 10101, Business Unit 31121355. However, actual expenses may be paid from various departments’ fund and business units when purchase orders are issued.
