RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the Health Services Director, an amendment to purchase order F02579 with Matheson Tri-Gas, Inc., to increase the payment limit by $96,000 to a new payment limit of $296,000 for the purchase of liquid medical oxygen for the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC), and the Contra Costa Health Centers with no change in the original term of October 15, 2015 through December 31, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% funded by the Hospital Enterprise Fund I.

BACKGROUND:

Matheson Tri-Gas, Inc., provides liquid oxygen for the CCRMC. Additional funds are needed as their prices have increased significantly since this Purchase Order was initiated in 2015.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this Purchase Order is not approved, then the CCRMC cannot perform procedures that require the patients to have oxygen.
