RECOMMENDATION(S):
Approve and authorize the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Health Services Department, to execute an Amendment to Purchase Order # F1191 with Hill-Rom Company, Inc., to add $50,000 for a new total of $149,000 for rental of hospital beds and other items for the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC), with no change in the original term of August 10, 2015 through August 9, 2017.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Upon approval, the Department may incur additional expenses of up to $50,000 during the proposed agreement period, which would be funded 100% in the Hospital Enterprise Fund I budget.
BACKGROUND:
Hill-Rom Company, Inc. has provided rental beds of all types to CCRMC when replacements were required because of break downs and needed repairs. Due to the necessity of renting more beds than originally planned, it is necessary to add money to this blanket purchase order.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this purchase order amendment is not approved, the CCRMC will be unable to rent beds and other items from Hill-Rom in the future.
