It is requested that Council approve a contract for the purchase of Narcan

(Naloxone) from Adapt Pharma, Inc., (Radnor, PA). The City of Columbus was

awarded a $500,000 grant ($125,000 annually for 4 years) to provide all first

responders with NARCAN and to collect data relative to its use from the

Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.

Naloxone is a medication designed to rapidly reverse opioid overdose. It can

very quickly restore normal respiration to a person whose breathing has slowed

or stopped as a result of overdosing with heroin or prescription opioid pain

medications.

Resolution #279-17, authorized the writing and acceptance of the grant. Adapt

Pharma Inc., is the distributor of NARCAN. Consequently, the vendor is deemed

the only known source for this purchase, per the Procurement Ordinance, Article

3-114. The Georgia Department of Community Supervision and other state

agencies have entered into similar arrangements and purchase their NARCAN from

this distributor as well.

Currently, a $20,000 order is required to have enough NARCAN on hand to supply

law enforcement and Fire/EMS first responders. NARCAN is $75 per box and there

are two doses in each box.

The SAMHSA grant requires no funding match from the City, and the funds are

available to make necessary purchases in the following budget line-item:

Multi-Government Project Fund ? Superior Court ? First Responder Naloxone

Project Grant ? Contractual Services; 0216-500-3195-NALO-6319. Columbus

It is requested that Council approve payment to D.A.T Trucking, Inc., (Smiths,

AL) in the amount of $17,760.00 for providing equipment rental services for

On March 4, 2019 Columbus was struck by a tornado that caused extensive tree

damage in the northern part of the county. Public Works extended all resources

available in the cleanup efforts, however additional assistance was needed due

to the volume of the tornado debris. The Public Works Department contacted

Elite Tree Service who is under contract with the city for tree removal. The

vendor provided a logging truck and operator to assist in the emergency debris

removal. The Department also contacted Norwood and D.A.T. Trucking to provide

tandem truck rental services to haul debris to the landfill. This additional

emergency equipment rental was essential for getting debris cleaned up in a

timely manner.
