RECOMMENDATION(S):
Approve and authorize the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Health Services Department, to execute an amendment to Purchase Order with Philips Healthcare Inc., to add $32,723.58 to a new total Payment Limit of $438,845.02 to purchase patient monitors and installation for the Telemetry Unit at the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC), with no change in the term of May 1, 2015 through April 30, 2016.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% funding is included in the Hospital Enterprise Fund I budget.
BACKGROUND:
The Telemetry Unit is using outdated patient monitors that are no longer supported by the manufacturer. By replacing the monitors, we are standardized on the Philips patient monitors, transmitters, application servers and database servers.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the Purchase Order is not approved, we will not be able to provide the best care and service for our patient population at the CCRMC.
