RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract Amendment Agreement #26-667-9 with World Courier Ground, Inc., a corporation, effective November 1, 2015, to amend Contract #26-667-5 (as amended by Amendment Agreement #26-667-7), to provide additional courier services, and increase the payment limit by $40,000, from $740,000 to a new payment limit of $780,000, with no change in the original term of April 1, 2014 through March 31, 2017.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This amendment is funded 100% Hospital Enterprise Fund I. (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

On March 25, 2014, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-667-5 (as amended by Amendment Agreement #26-667-7) with World Courier Ground, Inc. for the provision of courier services for Contra Costa Regional Medical and Contra Costa Health Centers, (CCRMC), for the period from April 1, 2014 through March 31, 2017, for pharmacy, laboratory and on-call courier services, including pick-up, transport and delivery of laboratory specimens, transmittals, x-rays and pharmacy medications. At the time of negotiations, the payment limit was based on target levels of utilization. However, the utilization during the term of the agreement was higher than originally anticipated due to additional clinic locations requesting service, which was provided, in good faith by the Contractor, and not included in the original contract fee schedule. Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #26-667-7 will allow the Contractor to provide additional courier services to a variety of CCRMC and Health Centers through March 31, 2017.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, County will not receive additional courier services provided by this Contractor in good faith.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
