BACKGROUND:
The Union County Human Services Agency’s Public Health Department provides various dental clinic services for patients that must be processed by an “outside” laboratory such as dentures. Brantley Dental Laboratory currently processes lab services for the Public Health Department through contract #8619. A requested third amendment for $25,000 will cover a one-year term and will result in a cumulative spend with the vendor that exceeds the County Manager’s $50,000 allowable signing authority, therefore, BOCC approval of Contract Amendment #3 is required.
The Public Health Department has utilized the contractual services of Brantley Dental Laboratory for services since November 2020. The contractor has been effective and efficient in meeting our service & patient care needs, and we are requesting to continue this service for an additional one-year term. The Department will collaborate with Procurement for solicitation options in the future.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The anticipated annual cost for this service is $25,000.00 and is budgeted accordingly for FY2025, with future expenditures subject to annual BOCC budget appropriation.
