RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #76-804 with ARL Bio Pharma, Inc., a corporation, containing mutual indemnification, in an amount not to exceed $25,000, for the provision of analytical testing services for various compounded sterile and non-sterile drug preparations from the inpatient and outpatient pharmacies at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) for the period January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract will result in contractual service expenditures of up to $25,000 and will be funded 100% by Hospital Enterprise Fund I revenues.

BACKGROUND:

CCRMC has an obligation to provide laboratory testing services to patients. On occasion, the County contracts with outside laboratory testing services in order to provide testing that requires special equipment not available at County facilities. The contractor will provide analytical testing services for various compounded sterile and non-sterile drug preparations, as required by pharmacy law, including potency, sterility, and identification of the compound, from the inpatient and outpatient pharmacies at CCRMC. The contractor’s services will provide real time information with access to samples and results anytime.

Under new Contract #76-800, the contractor will provide analytical testing services for various compounded sterile and non-sterile drug preparations for inpatient and outpatient pharmacies at CCRMC for the period January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023. This contract includes mutual indemnification to hold harmless both parties for any claims arising out of the performance under this contract.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, CCRMC will not have access to this contractor's analytical testing services for sterile and non-sterile drug preparations for inpatient and outpatient pharmacies.
