RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the Health Services Director, a purchase order with Beckman Coulter, Inc. in the amount not to exceed $622,860 for the rental of the DXH800, DXH801 and consumables for the clinical laboratory at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and Health Centers, for the period from November 15, 2017 to November 14, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% funded by Hospital Enterprise Fund I.

BACKGROUND:

The clinical laboratory at CCRMC and Health Centers needs to rent hematology analyzers to analyze samples, in addition to purchasing supplies and reagents for the analyzers. The lab uses the analyzers to perform various hematology tests for patients. The current analyzers were purchased back in 2012 and now require an upgrade. The new equipment will allow the lab to use current technology and cut down on false test results, which leads to less manual intervention.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The division is requesting a retroactive start date of November 15, 2017 on the blanket purchase order due to delays in the divisions' internal processing of the purchase order request.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the CCRMC clinical laboratory will not be able to perform patient testing. These reagents and supplies are exclusive for these analyzers.
