RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the Health Services Department, an amendment to purchase order #F03368 with Depuy Synthes Products, Inc., to increase the payment limit by $500,000 to a new payment limit of $2,250,000 for the purchase of implants and orthopedic supplies and devices for the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC), with no change in the original term of April 1, 2016 through March 31, 2020.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% funding is included in the Hospital Enterprise Fund I budget.
BACKGROUND:
Depuy Synthes Products, Inc., has been providing implants and orthopedic supplies and devices for CCRMC for more than ten years. The Operating Room has switched from Stryker Orthopedics to using Depuy Synthes Products, Inc. primarily as a source, which has further increased demands for their products.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this amendment request is not approved, then CCRMC will be unable to pay for supplies and devices needed by the Operating Room to perform orthopedic procedures.
