RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the Health Services Director, a purchase order with Arjo Inc., in an amount not to exceed $1,000,000 for rental of patient care equipment and the purchase of therapeutic medical supplies and products for the Operating Room at the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC), for the period from September 1, 2018 through October 31, 2020.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% funded by the Hospital Enterprise Fund I.
BACKGROUND:
In addition to existing beds, CCRMC rents specialty beds periodically throughout the year. It is less expensive to rent these beds, which cost in between $60,000 and $100,000 each than it would be to purchase them outright. Owning the beds would require CCRMC staff to clean the beds before and after each use and store the beds off campus while transporting them to and from the hospital as needed. CCRMC would also need to remove the standard beds and store them off campus until the specialty bed was no longer required.
