RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of County Contract #26-358-8, which contains mutual indemnification with Donor Network West, a corporation, to provide organ procurement services at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) for the period November 1, 2019 through October 31, 2024.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This is a non-financial agreement.

BACKGROUND:

On February 10, 2015, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-358-6 (as amended by Amendment Agreement #26-358-7) with Donor Network West, to provide organ procurement services for CCRMC, for the period from November 1, 2014 through October 31, 2019.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Approval of Contract #26-358-8 will allow the Contractor to continue to meet the requirements for participation in Medicare and Medicaid programs, provide broader access to various organs and tissues needed by surgeons and patients, and ultimately streamline the donation process, through October 31, 2024. This contract includes mutual indemnification.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, County will not be able to receive organ procurement services from this Contractor.
