Title
Consider recommendations regarding a 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 Medicine Shoppe Pharmacy of Santa Barbara (a local vendor) to increase the contract amount by $75,000.00 for a total contract maximum amount not to exceed $275,000.00 for the continued provision of pharmaceuticals for Alcohol, Drug and Mental Health Services (ADMHS) clients for an extended term through March 31, 2016;
b) Approve and authorize an extension of the waiver of competitive bidding approved May 12, 2015 for the procurement of pharmaceuticals from Medicine Shoppe Pharmacy (a local vendor), to authorize additional procurements not to exceed $275,000.00 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.
