authorized use of the software and/or documentation; or (c) replace the software and/or
documentation with equally suitable, compatible, and functionally equivalent non -infringing

is otherwise protected as set forth in Section 6(e).

PHI or to this Agreement, cannot be met by Business Associate in a commercially
reasonable manner and without significant additional expense.

City of Fort Worth Business Associate Agreement Page 5 of 10
Docusign Envelope ID: D682627D-9A79-48DB-A237-4E4DFF003227
destruction is deemed infeasible. If the return or destruction of PHI is infeasible, Business
Associate shall extend the protections of this Agreement to such PHI and limit further uses
and disclosures of such PHI to those purposes that make the return or destruction infeasible,
for so long as Business Associate maintains such PHI. For purposes of illustration only
and not to limit the set of circumstances that could potentially make return or destruction
infeasible, it would be infeasible for Business Associate to return or destroy certain PHI
that is part of work product that must be retained for document retention/archival purposes,
as well as PHI that is stored as a result of backup e-mail systems that store e -mails for
emergency backup purposes.

they deem appropriate. This Agreement shall not be amended except by written instrument
executed by the parties.

out of breaches of this Agreement shall be subject to the indemnification provision and exclusions
and limitation of liability set forth in the Underlying Agreement.
9. Severability.
The parties intend this Agreement to be enforced as written. However, (i) if any portion or
provision of this Agreement is to any extent declared illegal or unenforceable by a duly authorized
court having jurisdiction, then the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such portion
or provision in circumstances other than those as to which it is so declared illegal or unenforceable,
will not be affected thereby, and each portion and provision of this Agreement will be valid and
enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law; and (ii) if any provision, or part thereof, is held
to be unenforceable because of the duration of such provision, the Covered Entity and the Business
Associate agree that the court making such determination will have the power to modify such
provision, and such modified provision will then be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by
law.
10. Notices.
All notices, requests, consents and other communications hereunder will be in writing, will
be addressed to the receiving party's address set forth below or to such other address as a party
may designate by notice hereunder, and will be either (i) delivered by hand, (ii) made facsimile

HEARING:
SUBJECT: (ALL) Authorize Execution of Non -Exclusive Agreements with Multiple Vendors for Weight
Management Programs in a Combined Annual Amount Up to $400,000.00 for the Initial
Term and Authorize Four One -Year Renewal Options for the Same Annual Amount for the
Human Resources Department
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize execution of non-exclusive agreements with multiple vendors for weight
management programs in a combined annual amount up to $400,000.00 for the initial term and authorize up to four 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 the execution of annual agreements with
FoodRX and Al, Inc., Noom, Inc., and Form Health, Inc. for weight management programs for City employees. These
programs will support the City's health plan by providing employees with options for a program which best fits their
individual needs. The Purchasing staff issued Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 25-0021. The RFP consisted of detailed
specifications describing the responsibilities and requirements to provide these services.
The RFP was advertised in the Fort Worth Star -Telegram on November 6, 2024, November 13, 2024, November
20, 2024, November 27, 2024, and December 4, 2024. The City received fifteen (15) responses. W.W. International, dba
Weight Watchers for Business was deemed non -responsive for failing to submit RFP-08 Qualification Questionnaire and
Requirements, and their proposal was therefore not evaluated further.
An evaluation panel, consisting of members of the Human Resources Department reviewed and scored the submittals
using the Best Value criteria.
The individual scores were averaged for each of the criteria and the final scores are listed in the table below

M&C Review
** Did not achieve the minimum technical score of 42.5 points required to move forward and therefore did not
receive cost of services points or a ranking.
Best Value Criteria:
a.) Member Experience and Enhancements
b.) Medical Research Supported Program
c.) Experience and Qualifications of the Program and Staff
d.) Cost of Services
The panel decided to interview and request Best and Final offers (BAFOs) from the proposers who achieved the top 5
technical scores. After the interviews, a third round of scoring was conducted and the panel concluded that Food RX and
Al, Inc., Noom, Inc., and Form Health, Inc. present the best value for the City. Therefore, the panel recommends that the
City Council authorize non-exclusive agreements with Food RX and Al, Inc., Noom, Inc., and Form Health, Inc. Staff
certifies that the recommended vendor's bids met specifications. No guarantee was made for a specific amount of
services or goods that would be purchased.
FUNDING: The maximum amount allowed under this agreement will be up to $400,000.00; however, the actual amount
used will be based on the need of the department and available budget. Funding is budgeted in the General Operating &
Maintenance category in the Group Health Insurance Fund for the Human Resources Department.
DVIN-BE: This solicitation was reviewed by The Business Equity Division for available business equity prospects
according to the City's Business Equity Ordinance. There were limited business equity opportunities available for the
services/goods requested, therefore, no business equity goal was established.
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.
AGREEMENT TERMS: Upon City Council approval this agreement shall begin upon execution and expire one year from
that date.
RENEWAL TERMS: This agreement may be renewed for up to four (4) additional, one-year terms. This action does not
require specific City Council approval provided the City Council has appropriated sufficient funds to satisfy the City's
obligations during the renewal term.
This project will serve ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS.
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 award of the contracts. Prior
to any expenditure being incurred, the Human Resources Department has the responsibility to validate the availability of
funds.
