RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the Health Services Director, an amendment to Purchase Order #F07490 with Stryker Sales Corporation, to increase the payment limit by $114,258 to a new payment limit of $202,758 for repair and servicing of Stryker medical equipment at the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and Health Centers, with no change in the original term of December 30, 2016 through December 29, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% funding is included in the Hospital Enterprise Fund I budget.

BACKGROUND:

CCRMC has purchased a Procare Protect service agreement with Stryker Sales Corporation and now is adding more equipment to the agreement, resulting in the need for money to be added to the purchase order. It is essential that medical equipment be kept in working condition at all times and the vendor must be the one to do the servicing or else the warranty will be voided.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, CCRMC and Health Centers will be unable to keep their Stryker equipment running, thus impacting patient care.
