RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute on behalf of the County, Contract #76-556 with Laboratory Corporation of America, a corporation, in an amount not to exceed $325,000, to provide outside laboratory testing services for Contra Costa Regional Medical and Health Centers (CCRMC), for the period from May 1, 2017 through April 30, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract is funded 100% by Hospital Enterprise Fund I.

BACKGROUND:

Under Contract #76-556, the contractor will provide outside laboratory testing services, including HER2FISH test for breast cancer treatment, and flow cytometry test for leukemia treatment for the period from May 1, 2017 through April 30, 2018. This contract contains changes to the County Standard General Conditions. Due to extended negotiations with the contractor, the Health Services Department is requesting a retroactive contract start date of May 1, 2017. Approval of the contract will allow the contractor to continue to provide outside laboratory testing services to CCRMC patients.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

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