RECOMMENDATION(S):
Approve and authorize the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Health Services Department, to execute a blanket purchase order with Cleansource, Inc., in the amount of $1,500,000 for the purchase of janitorial supplies at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Centers, for the period February 1, 2015 through January 31, 2016.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% funding is included in Enterprise Fund I Budget.
BACKGROUND:
Health Services has been purchasing janitorial supplies from Cleansource, Inc. since 2007. Cleansource provides all disinfecting and cleaning supplies to the Environmental Services Department. Purchasing went out to bid on janitorial supplies in 2007 and Cleansource Inc. was one of the vendors selected. The bid is good through 2015.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this Purchase Order is not approved, the hospital and clinics will not be able to order cleaning supplies needed by the Environmental Services Department causing more infections to occur and spread.
