Commissioners award medical service contracts
By ROSIE FLORES
Staff Writer
PECOS, Mon., Dec. 9, 2002 -- Medical contracts for the Reeves County Detention
Center and the Reeves County Sheriff's Department were awarded this
morning by Reeves County Commissioners, who also approved payments
to the different contractors working at the site of the new Reeves
County Detention Center III during their regular meeting this morning.
Several local vendors fared well during the regular meeting, receiving
the bids for the services for the 2003 fiscal year.
Medical lab and X-ray services went to Trans Pecos Lab of Pecos. "We advertised
this one for the sheriff's department only," said county auditor Lynn Owens.
Owens said that it had been a couple of years since this particular item
had been bid out. "The bid was the same as the last time it was bid out,"
said Owens.
Dental services for the sheriff's department only were awarded to Dr.
David Lovett and the physician's services contract went to Dr. Hiram Jifi.
RCDC employee Tommy Duncan told the court that Physicians Network Associated
is currently working on a method that will allow them to have a consultation
with a doctor and have the equipment located at the RCDC.
Duncan said that the new method would be through a "television" and that
PNA had said that any other equipment needed by them, they would purchase.
Professional Pharmacy owner Leo Hung told the court that through PNA a
lot of tests had been eliminated. "This new company cut out a lot of tests,
including urinary and blood tests," said Hung. "That tele-radiologist machine
your talking about costs anywhere from $50,000-$60,000," he said.
Hung explained to the court how the machine would operate and that a radiologist
elsewhere would view the X-ray and make the interpretation.
"PNA had said that any equipment that we don't have at the RCDC they would
purchase," said Duncan.
"This is also for security reasons, so that the inmates will not need
to be transported outside the facility," said Galindo. "This will help the
community feel safer," he said.
Pharmaceutical services were awarded to Professional Pharmacy, which won
out in bidding over Rediger's Pharmacy.
"This is advertised for county-wide," said Galindo, who added that the
award was made without respect to any set bids by the two pharmacies.
"The award comes first, and then the negotiation of prices," he said.
Duncan said that the pharmacy, which is the current provider, has cooperated
with PNA.
"PNA said they could help reduce costs and has many times recommended
to get generic drugs to help lower costs," said Duncan.
Other bids included for janitor supplies at the RCDC, with bid awards
going to Triple I, Waggoner and AA Chemical Supplies.
Kitchen item bids went to U.S. Foods, Ben and Keith Foods, El Paso Baking,
Gandy's, DeCoty, La Nortena of Pecos and CSB Sales of Florida.
Asphalt and emulsions bid was awarded to Coate Materials of Lubbock; motor
fuel and oil, included three items, motor fuel, gas, motor oil and anti-freeze.
Desert Distributors was awarded the item for motor oil and anti-freeze
and West Texas Gas the item for the gas card.
Payments were approved for Frank Spencer and Associates and LMD Architect.
Other payments approved were to: West Laundry, in the amount of $78,850;
ABCO Fire Protection in the amount of $17,101; N.C. Sturgeon in the amount
of $304,115; R.W. Jones and Sons, $2,850; Strategic Equipment, $30,400; Acme
Electric, $340,194; Texas Commercial Fence, $55,387; SamCorp General Contractors,
$273,265; Howard's Mechanical, $347,418; ISI Detention Contracting Group,
$273,348; Tank Builders, Inc., $3,420 and Carother's Construction, $127,861.
