SUBJECT: (ALL) Authorize Execution of Agreement with Prism Health Group, LLC for Pharmacy
Consulting Services in an Annual Amount Up to $200,000.00 for the Initial Three-Year
Term and Authorize Two One-Year Renewal Options for the Same Annual Amount for the
Human Resources Department
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the execution of an agreement with Prism Health
Group, LLC for pharmacy consulting services in an annual amount up to $200,000.00 for the initial
three-year term and authorize two one-year renewal options for the same annual amount for the
Human Resources Department.
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor & Council Communication (M&C) is to authorize execution of an Agreement
with Prism Health Group, LLC to provide pharmacy consulting services for the best value, savings,
and access to prescriptions for City employees and applicable retirees.
In order to procure these services, Purchasing issued Request For Proposal (RFP) No. 24-0240
consisting of detailed specifications describing the responsibilities and requirements to provide
pharmacy consulting services to the City. The RFP was advertised in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram on
July 31, 2024, August 7, 2024, August 14, 2024, August 21, 2024, August 28, 2024, and September 4,
2024. The City received five (5) responses.
Holmes Murphy and Associates, LLC was deemed non-responsive by Purchasing due to submitting
"no bid" on all line items of the bid table, and by the Diversity and Inclusion Department/Business
Equity Division for failure to comply with the established Business Equity Goal.
An evaluation panel consisting of representatives from the Human Resources and Fort Worth Lab
Departments reviewed and scored the remaining submittals using Best Value criteria. Individual
scores were averaged for each of the criteria.
After technical and pricing evaluations, the four remaining firms, DBK Health, Inc., Lockton-Dunning
Series of Lockton Companies, LLC, dba Lockton Pharmacy Solutions, McGriff Insurance Services,
LLC, and Prism Health Group, LLC, were interviewed on October 10, 2024. The City requested a Best
and Final Offer (BAFO) from each of these four firms. The individual scores were averaged for each of
the criteria and the final scores are listed in the table below:

the department and the available budget. Funding is budgeted in the Consultant & Other Prof Service
account within the Group Health Insurance Fund for the Human Resources Department.
BUSINESS EQUITY: The Business Equity Division placed a 4.1\% business equity goal on this
contract. Prism Health Group, LLC has agreed/committed to utilize 4.1\% business equity
subcontractor participation for the scope of work, meeting the City's Business Equity Ordinance. Any
changes in subcontractors will be reviewed by the Business Equity Division
AGREEMENT TERMS: The initial term of the agreement will begin upon execution and expire three
(3) years from that date.
RENEWAL OPTIONS: This agreement may be renewed for up to two (2) one-year renewal periods.
This action does not require specific City Council approval provided that City Council has appropriated
sufficient funds to satisfy the City's obligations during the renewal term.
ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGE ORDER: An administrative change order or increase may be made by
the City Manager up to the amount allowed by relevant law and the Fort Worth City Code and does
not require specific City Council approval as long as sufficient funds have been appropriated.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that funds are available in the current operating budget, as
previously appropriated, in the Group Health Insurance Fund to support the approval of the above
recommendation and execution of the contract. Prior to any expenditure being incurred, the Human
Resources Department has the responsibility to validate the availability of funds.
