RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #76-682-2, containing mutual indemnification, with Regents of the University of California, on behalf of UC Davis Medical Group, a government agency, in an amount not to exceed $35,000 to provide specialized outside laboratory testing services for Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) for the period November 1, 2022 through October 31, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this contract will result in an annual expenditure of up to $35,000 and is funded by 100% Hospital Enterprise Fund I. (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers have an obligation to provide laboratory testing services to patients. Therefore, the County contracts with outside laboratory testing services in order to provide testing services not available at County facilities, to ensure patient care is provided as required. This contractor has been providing outside laboratory testing services for several years.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On November 16, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #76-682-1, with Regents of the University of California, on behalf of UC Davis Medical Group in an amount not to exceed $35,000 for the provision of specialized outside laboratory testing services for CCRMC for the period November 1, 2021 through October 31, 2022.

Approval of Contract #76-682-2 will allow the contractor to continue providing specialized outside laboratory testing services through October 31, 2023. This contract includes mutual indemnification to hold harmless both parties for any claims arising out of the performance of this contract.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, patients requiring specialized outside laboratory testing services at CCRMC will not have access to this contractor’s infectious disease testing services.
