RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Health Services Department, to execute an amendment to Purchase Order # F06496 with D.T. Davis Enterprises, Ltd. t/a Hovertech International, a Corporation to add $150,000 for a new total not to exceed $225,000 for the purchase of hovermatt slings and other equipment and supplies for the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) with no change in the original term of December 1, 2016 through November 30, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% funding is included in the Hospital Enterprise Fund I budget. The equipment is estimated to pay for itself within three years due to the reduction of injuries and lost work hours.

BACKGROUND:

Hovertech International provides hovermatts, hovermatt slings, and other products for moving patients. The use of these products is now mandated by law in order to reduce the possibility of injuries to staff while moving patients. The first year trial was so successful that the equipment is being obtained for more units at CCRMC and therefore it is necessary to add money to the purchase order.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this purchase order amendment is not approved, the CCRMC will have much more difficulty in moving patients and increase the risk of staff injuries.
