RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Interagency Agreement #26-658-4 with the County of Santa Clara, a government agency, in an amount not to exceed $50,000, for the provision of laboratory testing services for Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Centers, for the period from July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% Enterprise Fund I. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

On June 25, 2013, the Board of Supervisors approved Interagency Agreement #26-658-3 with the Contractor to provide neonatal urine toxicology laboratory testing services twenty-four hours a day/seven days a week for at risk newborns at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Centers, for the period from July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Approval of Interagency Agreement #26-658-4 will allow the Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2015. The Division is requesting an effective date of July 1, 2014 to allow no disruption in services due to a delay in contractual negotiations. This agreement includes modifications to County’s Termination and Cancellation, Disputes, Choice of Law and Personal Jurisdiction, Possessory Interest paragraphs of the General Conditions and agreement to mutually indemnify both parties.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, Contra Costa Regional Medical and Contra Costa Health Centers would have to find a new Contractor to provide services. County of Santa Clara was selected because of location, accuracy and 24/7 testing availability.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not Applicable.
