RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the Health Services Director, a Purchase Order with Bay Cities Produce Inc. in an amount not to exceed $550,000 for the purchase of perishable pre-prepared produce and dairy products for the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) for the period from November 1, 2018 through October 31, 2020.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% budgeted in the Hospital Enterprise Fund I budget.
BACKGROUND:
Bay Cities Produce, Inc. prepares and distributes perishable produce and dairy products. These supplies are used to feed CCRMC’s patient population and employees. The amount of money has been increased, as we will purchase dairy for patients through this vendor, due to the fact that they deliver to CCRMC six days a week.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this Purchase Order is not approved, patients will not be fed, which affects patient care.
