RECOMMENDATION(S):
Approve and authorize the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Health Services Department, to execute an amendment to Purchase Order # F04424 with Food Service Partners, Inc., to add $500,000 for a new total of $2,074,003 to purchase meals for patients and staff at the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) while the cafeteria and kitchen are being renovated with no change in the original term of April 18, 2016 through August 31, 2017.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% funding is included in Hospital Enterprises Fund I Budget for meals provided to patients. The costs of meals for staff are paid by employee purchases.
BACKGROUND:
Due to the closure of the kitchen for renovations, CCRMC does do not have the ability to prepare meals for patients, staff and patrons. During this closure CCRMC has partnered with Food Service Partners, Inc. to provide this essential service.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this Purchase Order is not approved, the CCRMC will not be able to meet the nutritional needs of our patients and staff.
