RECOMMENDATION(S):

RESCIND Board action of September 8, 2020 (C.85), which pertained to a contract with Apheresis Care Group, Inc.; and APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract with Apheresis Care Group, Inc., a corporation, in an amount not to exceed $700,000 to provide therapeutic plasmapheresis and hemodialysis services at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Health Centers, for the period December 1, 2020 through November 30, 2025.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract will result in budgeted expenditures of up to $700,000 and will be funded 100% by Hospital Enterprise Fund I revenues.

BACKGROUND:

On September 8, 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-362-13 with Apheresis Care Group, Inc., to provide therapeutic plasmapheresis and hemodialysis services at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Health Centers (CCRMC) for the period from July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2025. This request included an incorrect term start date, inconsistent with the term agreed upon by both parties, and therefore needs to be rescinded.

Since 1999, the County has contracted with Apheresis Care Group, Inc. for therapeutic plasmapheresis and hemodialysis services at CCRMC. The Department is requesting to continue receiving these services from the contractor for the period of December 1, 2020 through November 30, 2025.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the recommendation is not approved, the prior incorrect Board action will stand and the department will not have Board authorization for the contractor to provide the aforementioned services and pay Apheresis Care Group, Inc., for the correct term of the contract.
