Title
Consider recommendations regarding Alcohol, Drug and Mental Health Services (ADMHS) Pharmacy Contract Amendment and Extension of Bid Waiver, as follows:
a) Approve, and authorize the Chair to execute a First Amendment for Services of Independent Contractor with Evergreen Pharmaceutical of California, Inc. doing business as Omnicare of Southern California (Omnicare) (not a local vendor) to increase the contract by $250,000.00 for a total contract maximum amount not to exceed $400,000.00 for the continued provision of pharmaceuticals for ADMHS Psychiatric Health Facility’s (PHF) clients for an extended term through March 31, 2016;
b) Approve and authorize an extension of the waiver of competitive bidding approved June 23, 2015 for the procurement of pharmaceuticals from Omnicare (not a local vendor), not to exceed $400,000.00 through March 31, 2016; and
c) Determine that these activities are exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review per CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5) since the recommended actions are government administrative activities which do not involve commitment to any specific project which may result in potentially significant physical impact on the environment.
