RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Health Services Director, to execute a purchase order with Mesa Laboratories, Inc., in the amount of $150,000 for calibration of thermometers for the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) Nutritional Services and Laboratories for the period of March 1, 2018 through February 28, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% funded by Hospital Enterprise Fund I.

BACKGROUND:

CCRMC is required to have thermometers for refrigerators and freezers calibrated regularly to ensure that food, medications, and cultures are kept at the correct temperature. CCRMC has expanded and upgraded its nutritional services and laboratories, and now requires more of this work to be done due to the additional units.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this purchase order is not approved, the CCRMC will not be able to have all of its refrigerating units thermometers calibrated, which could expose patients to harm or create non-compliance with current regulations.
