RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the Health Services Department, 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, 2020 through October 31, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% funding is included in the Hospital Enterprise Fund I budget.

BACKGROUND:

Fresh fruits and vegetables are required to prepare meals that meet American Dietetic Association (ADA) requirements for balanced nutrition for the patients of the CCMRC. Bay Cities Produce, Inc. has been working with local farms and the Brentwood Agricultural Land Trust to certify and purchase from local farmers. They operate their own processing plant which meets all government and Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) requirements. This allows the CCRMC to purchase locally grown products that are guaranteed to be safe and fulfill the mandate from the Contra Costa Board of Supervisors to purchase as much local produce as possible. These products are used to feed CCRMC’s patient population and employees, and the vendor is willing to deliver to CCRMC six days a week as needed.



CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this purchase order is not approved the CCRMC will not be able to meet the ADA requirements for balanced nutrition for its patients.
