RECOMMENDATION(S):

RESCIND Board Action of January 10, 2023 (C.64), which pertained to a contract with Total Renal Care, Inc.; and APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute Contract #26-563-14 with Total Renal Care, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $1,074,500 to provide blood treatment services including dialysis therapies for inmates at the Martinez Adult Detention Facility, for the period from February 20, 2023 through February 19, 2026.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this contract will result in no change to the original budgeted expenditures of up to $1,074,500 over a 3-year period and will be funded 100% by Hospital Enterprise Fund I revenues.

BACKGROUND:

Historically, blood services have been very complicated to obtain for inmates at the County’s Martinez Adult Detention Facility, compromising the health of seriously ill inmates. This contract will allow inmates to receive blood services at the Martinez Detention Facility at a cost approximately 60% less than transporting inmates to outside vendors. Total Renal Care, Inc. has been providing services to the County since 2006.

On February 25, 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-563-13 with Total Renal Care, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $1,074,500, to provide blood services including, dialysis therapies for inmates at the Martinez Detention Facility for the period from January 27, 2020 through January 26, 2023.

Due to an administrative oversight, the contract term was incorrectly stated in the department's February 25, 2020 request to the Board. The purpose of this Board Order is to correct the term to read February 20, 2023 through February 19, 2026, to match the contract term as signed by the County and the contractor.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this correction is not approved, the Board's action would not reflect the contract term intent of the parties for the contractor’s blood treatment services including dialysis therapies for inmates at the Martinez Adult Detention Facility.
