RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract Amendment Agreement #26-692-22 with Applied Remedial Services, Inc., a corporation, effective January 1, 2022, to amend Contract #26-692-21 to increase the payment limit by $108,196 from $707,056 to a new payment limit of $815,252, with no change in the original term of January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this amendment will result in additional contractual service expenditures of up to $108,196 and will be fully funded as budgeted by the department in FY 2021-22 by Hospital Enterprise Fund I revenues. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) has been contracting with Applied Remedial Services, Inc., since April 2011 to provide removal and disposal of hazardous waste at CCRMC and all the Health Centers to comply with State and Federal Regulations. CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers are monitored on a quarterly basis to ensure hazardous waste is being disposed properly. The contractor has its own lab in which the chemist inspects and prepares profile reports and documents for disposal facilities, and waste research with disposal facility. They inventory hazardous waste materials, sort and package chemical waste and clean up spilled material, deliver supplies, and package chemical waste from the morgue, pharmacy, public health, pathology departments and the hazardous waste shed.

On November 23, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-692-21 with Applied Remedial Services, Inc., in the amount not to exceed $707,056 for the provision of removing and disposing of hazardous waste materials, in addition to audit reporting and annual in-service staff education services at CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers, for the period January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022.

Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #26-692-22 will increase the payment limit and allow the contractor to provide additional removal of hazardous waste and chemical services through December 31, 2022.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, CCRMC will not have access to additional services provided by this contractor, and risk non-compliance with mandatory State and Federal regulations.
