RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and Authorize the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Health Services Department, to execute a Purchase Order with Alcon Laboratories Inc., in the amount of $500,000 for the purchase of instruments, sutures and supplies at the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center, for the period January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

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

BACKGROUND:

Alcon Laboratories Inc. provides instruments, sutures, and general eye surgical supplies for the Surgical Department to perform procedures and operations at the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC). Alcon Laboratories 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 the Alcon Laboratories 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 general population of the Contra Costa County.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
