Board approves addendum to long-running pharmacy contract for employee durable medical equipment

Sherry Hemingway, the city’s payroll and benefits administrator, asked the board to approve Addendum No. 7 to contract number 31-2018 with a family pharmacy that supplies durable medical equipment for Richmond City employees covered by the city's health insurance plan. "The finance department is requesting approval of addendum number 7 to contract number 31Dash2018 with Georgia's Family Pharmacy Incorporated," Hemingway said; the transcript also shows the vendor name rendered as "George Family Pharmacy Incorporated." Hemingway said the addendum would continue the prevailing rates from 2018.

The board moved, seconded and approved the addendum by voice vote. The contract, as described in the meeting, covers durable medical equipment provided to eligible employees; the transcript does not include the full contract text or the financial terms of the addendum beyond the statement that prevailing 2018 rates will continue.

Officials recorded the approval as an administrative contract action; purchasing or finance staff will implement the addendum in accordance with existing contract administration procedures.
