RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of Health Services Department, to execute a Purchase Order with Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc., in the amount of $1,000,000 to purchase test reagents and related laboratory supplies for the Public Health Laboratory, for the period March 1, 2017 through February 28, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

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

BACKGROUND:

Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. has been used by the Public Health Laboratory for over ten (10) years. Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. provides reagents for the Bioplex 2200 System which is used to conduct testing at our Public Health Laboratory. Testing on the Bioplex 2200 includes Measles, Mumps, Rubella, Varicella Zoster, Syphilis, and others.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this Purchase Order is not approved, the Public Health Laboratory would not be able to provide testing for Measles, Mumps, Chicken Pox, Syphilis, and other diseases. This could result in an increase of these diseases in Contra Costa County.
