RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the Health Services Director, an amendment to Purchase Order #F55700 with Interline Brands, Inc., to increase the payment limit by $100,000 to a new payment limit of $1,600,000 for the purchase of janitorial supplies, minor equipment, paper products, and other items as needed by Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and Contra Costa Health Centers, with no change in the original term of March 1, 2015 through March 31, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% funded by Hospital Enterprise Fund I.

BACKGROUND:

Interline Brands, Inc. provides maintenance, repair, and operation products that are required for CCRMC and Health Centers to keep its facilities clean and sanitized, as well as address the needs of staff and patients. The recent surveys by the Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services required the purchase of a much greater quantity of product and, consequently, money must be added to the existing purchase order.
