Davis, Fire Chief Date: June 29, 2020 Subject: EMERGENCY COVID-19 PURCHASE REQUEST TARRANT COUNTY HOSPITAL DISTRICT D/B/A JPS HEALTH NETWORK COVID-19 is a novel coronavirus whose symptoms commonly include fever, cough, fatigue, shortness of breath, and loss of smell and taste. More serious symptoms, such as acute respiratory distress syndrome, may also occur. The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the virus outbreak as a global pandemic. Additional funding is required in order for the City to continue its efforts to combat the pandemic and to mitigate its health and social consequences. With this memo, staff is requesting emergency approval of spending authority of up to One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00)for medical and patient services and supplies for the emergency overflow shelter located at the Fort Worth Convention Center, which became operational on March 18, 2020. This additional spending authority will also cover continued services at other shelter facilities, including, but not limited to,those located at 300 E.Vickery, 1100 E. Lancaster and 4200 International Plaza in Fort Worth. An Interlocal Agreement between the City of Fort Worth and Tarrant County Hospital District d/b/a JPS Health Network was executed for the provision of screening, isolation and quarantine shelter services in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and is currently being amended to include the additional and abovementioned shelter locations. In the event that the City's emergency declaration issued in response to COVID-19 ceases or expires, the emergency approval of spending authority being sought by this memo shall also cease and any future emergency spending authority will require express and discrete approval. The goods and services being purchased through this emergency approval of spending authority are necessary to preserve or protect the public health or safety of the City's residents and are thus exempted from the bidding requirements of the Local Government Code. Pursuant to Ordinance No. 24161-04-2020, an Assistant City Manager has the authorization to execute agreements for the goods and services being purchased by this emergency approval of spending authority.
