Analysis
On June 16th, 2020 City Council ratified these agreements and approved the second renewal with contract modifications as part of the City’s pandemic response. Originally, on May 22, 2020 the City entered into an agreement for COVID-19 Drive Through Testing at a cost of $85.00 per test administered for an initial four week period with two four-week renewal options. The estimated total is based on the per term estimated testing quantities and billed on the total number of tests administered. Drive through testing began on May 26, 2020 at the Grand Prairie Veteran’s Center and is offered to residents free of charge.
This council action tonight is to ratify the third renewal with contract modifications due to the type of COVID-19 test being administered.
Per Federal procurement guidelines, 2 CFR 200, these contracts were entered into on an exigency basis due to the federally declared disaster. All supporting documentation is on file. This is the final renewal of the 12wk total exigency contract, future contracts for these services will be competitively solicited in accordance with all local, State, and Federal guidelines.
Financial Consideration
Federal Funds from The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act are available for this expenditure. One third would come from the Tarrant County contribution (3005-300598-TARCARES-61480), and two thirds would come from the Dallas County contribution (3005-300598-DALCARES-61480). FEMA Public Assistance funding may also be available if so determined eligible at a later date.
