RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Health Services Department, to execute a Purchase Order amendment for Diablo Valley Signs, to add $101,000 for a new total of $200,000, for signs for the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and the Contra Costa Health Centers with no change to the original term October 1, 2015 through September 20, 2016.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% funding is included in the Hospital Enterprises Fund I Budget.

BACKGROUND:

Diablo Valley Signs has been creating custom signs for the CCRMC and the Contra Costa Health Centers for some years. Additional funds are required because new signage is needed for the recently opened Antioch Health Center and for expansion at other clinic locations. Signs are important for the safety and convenience of patients and staff.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this Purchase Order is not approved, the CCRMC and the Contra Costa Health Centers will be unable to procure necessary signage.
