RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Health Services Department, to execute an amendment to Purchase Order F03172 with Aesculap Implant Systems, LLC to add $75,000 for new total amount not to exceed $174,000, for the purchase of surgical and medical instruments, tags, cards, neurological implants, disposables, and other medical products for the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC), with no change in the original term from February 1, 2016 through January 31, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

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

BACKGROUND:

For more than fifteen years, Aesculap Implant Systems, LLC has provided surgical and medical instruments, central line tags and cards, neurological implants, disposables, container supplies, and other medical products to CCRMC. This year the State of California inspected CCRMC and required the purchase of more products and instruments, thus using up the funds on the purchase order much more quickly than anticipated. It is therefore necessary to amend and add money to the purchase order.
