RECOMMENDATION(S):
Approve and authorize the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Health Services Department, to execute a Purchase Order with Arthrex Inc., in the amount of $350,000 for the purchase of instruments, implants and supplies for the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC), for the period February 1, 2016 through January 31, 2018.
FISCAL IMPACT:

Arthrex Inc. provides instruments, implants and supplies for the Orthopedic Department to perform specialty procedures at the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center. Arthrex Inc. has been a reliable source of supplies for the Operating Room (OR). With the increase of patient population, the OR requires the fast and steady replenishment of supplies that Arthrex Inc. can provide.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this Purchase Order is not approved, the CCRMC will not be able to meet the surgical needs of its patients.
