APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the Health Services Director, an amendment to Purchase Order #19324 with McKesson Medical Surgical, Inc., to increase the payment limit by $166,000 to a new payment limit of $365,000 to procure reagents, equipment, and supplies for the Clinical Laboratory at the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) with no change in the original term of July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2022.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This purchase order amendment will result in additional expenditures of up to $166,000 and is 100% funded by the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA).
BACKGROUND:
McKesson Medical Surgical, Inc. has provided CCRMC with medical equipment and supplies since 2007. With the increase of COVID patients, the Hospital experienced an increased volume in the use of reagents and other medical supplies. McKesson has been able to backfill the hospital with supplies to maintain operations when we have been placed on backorder status with other vendors. For the past seven (7) months our expenses have been averaging approximately $17,000 per month.
