RECOMMENDATION(S):
Approve and authorize the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Health Services Department, to execute a Purchase Order with Patterson Medical Inc., in the amount of $300,000 for the purchase of rehabilitation therapy and physical therapy supplies at the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and the Contra Costa Health Centers (CCHC) for the period December 1, 2016 through November 30, 2019.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% funding is included in the Hospital Enterprise Fund I Budget.
BACKGROUND:
Patterson Medical Inc. has provided CCRMC and CCHC with rehabilitation and physical therapy supplies for many years. With the Novation Contract, CCRMC and CCHC receives a generous discount on all equipment and supplies ordered. Patterson Medical Inc. has the majority of supplies CCRMC and CCHC requires, and has always provided great customer service.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this purchase order is not approved, CCRMC and CCHS will soon run out of supplies and no longer be able to provide services.
