RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Health Services Department to execute an amendment to Purchase Order #53110 with Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc., to add $85,000 for a new total of $285,000 for reagents and supplies to perform chemistry and microbiology testing for the Clinical Laboratory at the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC), with no change in the original term of July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015.
