RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the Health Services Director, a purchase order with Opening Technologies, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $186,999 for the purchase of custom safety and security doors and hardware to be installed in the Psychiatry Emergency Services Unit at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC).

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% funded by the Hospital Enterprise Fund I budget.

BACKGROUND:

The Joint Commission requires that anti ligature doors and hardware be installed in the Psychiatry Emergency Services Unit to prevent patients from harming themselves. This project must be completed by January 16, 2019 or CCRMC could face sanctions from the Joint Commission. Opening Technologies, Inc., has been used extensively by Contra Costa County Public Works and is familiar with the County’s needs.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this purchase order is not approved CCRMC could be penalized by the Joint Commission and patients would have more means to do themselves harm.
