RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and Authorize the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Health Services Department, to execute a Purchase Order with Covidien Inc., in the amount of $1,500,000 for the purchase of instruments, sutures and supplies at the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC), for the period from February 1, 2016 through January 31, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

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

BACKGROUND:

Covidien Inc. provides instruments, sutures and supplies for the Surgical Department to perform procedures and operations at the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center. Covidien Inc. has been a reliable source of supplies for the Operating Room (OR). With the increase of patient population, the OR requires a fast and steady replenishment of supplies that Covidien Inc. can provide.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this Purchase Order is not approved, the CCRMC will not be able to take care of the surgical needs of the patient population of Contra Costa County.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
