RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the Health Services Director, an amendment to Purchase Order #F02135 with IPC, Inc., (dba IPC, Inc./Gritekram) to increase the payment limit by $20,000 to a new payment limit of $119,000 for the purchase of non-latex tourniquet bands for the Clinical Laboratory at the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC), with no change in the original term of November 1, 2015 through December 31, 2018.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% funding is included in the Hospital Enterprise Fund I budget.
BACKGROUND:
IPC, Inc. provides non-latex tourniquet bands for the Clinical Laboratory at CCRMC. CCRMC has utilized this vendor since 2015 and is satisfied with their products. There has been a great increase in patients and therefore in the use of tourniquet bands. CCRMC needs to add funds to the Purchase Order to last until the end of the term.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this Purchase Order amendment is not approved, then the CCRMC must look to another vendor to supply non-latex tourniquet bands for the Clinical Laboratory.
