Berkeley County awards drug-screening cup purchase to Redwood Toxicology at $2.19 per cup
Summary
After testing showed the lowest bidder's product did not meet program needs, the Commission approved awarding the Day Report Center drug-screening cup purchase to Redwood Toxicology at $2.19 per cup on recommendation of the Director of Community Corrections.
County Administrator Gary Wine reported the Day Report Center’s bid opening for drug-screening cups and said testing showed the lowest bidder’s product did not meet program needs. Tim Czaja, Director of Community Corrections, recommended awarding the purchase to Redwood Toxicology because its product met testing requirements and offered broader drug coverage. Vice President R. Stephen Catlett moved to approve the award to Redwood Toxicology at $2.19 per cup; Commissioner James P. Whitacre seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
The minutes record the award price and the stated rationale that the selected product better met the program’s testing needs; the transcript does not provide vendor bid tabulation beyond the approved vendor and unit price.
