RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Health Services Department, to execute an Amendment to Purchase Order #F02579 with Matheson Tri-Gas, Inc. to add $40,000 for a new amount not to exceed $139,000 for the purchase of liquid medical oxygen and other gases and accessories for the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and Health Centers, with no change in the term from October 15, 2015 through September 14, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

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

BACKGROUND:

This vendor has provided medical gases for the CCRMC and the Health Centers since 2002. These gases are essential to patient care and the contractor delivers and handles the gas cylinders. Additional gases are needed due to an increase in utilization at CCRMC and Health Centers.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, the CCRMC and Health Centers will be unable to properly treat its patients and in extreme circumstances, it could result in patient deaths.
