RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Health Services Department, to execute an amendment to purchase order #F02871 with Avella of Deer Valley Inc., to increase the payment limit by $1,500,000.00 for a new payment limit of $3,500,000.00 for the compounding of Chemotherapy regimens for the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and to extend the term through May 31, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% funding is included in the Hospital Enterprise Fund I budget.

BACKGROUND:

Avella of Deer Valley, Inc. is the only Compounding Pharmacy that can provide CCRMC and Clinic patients with certain compounded medications at this time. Due to State and Federal requirements already in place, the Martinez Infusion Pharmacy is currently under construction to assure compliance with these regulatory requirements. To continue providing services to our cancer patients during this construction work, we need to extend the services provided by Avella of Deer Valley, Inc. until the anticipated construction completion date of May 31, 2019.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this Purchase Order amendment is not approved, we will not be able to take care of our most vulnerable patient population at the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center.
