RECOMMENDATION(S):

RESCIND Board Action of November 29, 2022 (C.67) which pertained to a contract agreement with Specialty Laboratories, Inc. (dba Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute of Valencia) and APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute Contract #26-583-33 with Specialty Laboratories, Inc. (dba Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute of Valencia), a corporation, in an amount not to exceed $5,000,000 to provide outside laboratory clinical testing services for Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and Contra Costa Health Centers for the period January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2024.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no change in the contract funding of $5,000,000, 80% by Hospital Enterprise Fund I and 20% by American Rescue Plan Act. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers have an obligation to provide laboratory testing services to patients. On occasion, the County contracts with outside laboratory testing services in order to provide testing that requires special equipment not available at County facilities. The contractor has been providing outside clinical laboratory testing services for CCRMC since January 2007.

On November 29, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-583-33 Specialty Laboratories, Inc. (dba Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute of Valencia) in an amount of $5,000,000 to provide outside clinical laboratory services for CCRMC and Health Centers for the period January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023.

The purpose of this Board Order is to correct the term to read January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2024 to match the contract term dates as agreed by the County and contractor.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this correction is not approved, the Board Order would not reflect the correct contract term for the provision of outside laboratory services at CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers.
