RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the Health Services Director, an amendment to Purchase Order #F15084 with Mesa Laboratories, Inc., to increase the payment limit by $99,000 to a new payment limit of $198,000 for the calibration of thermometers for the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) nutritional and laboratory services, with no change in the term of March 1, 2019 through February 28, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The increased costs of $99,000 is included in the Hospital Enterprise Fund I budget.

BACKGROUND:

CCRMC is required to have thermometers for refrigerators and freezers calibrated regularly to ensure that food, medications, and cultures are kept at the correct temperature. The CCRMC currently has 258 censors and will need to add 85 additional censors, to be in compliance. The CCRMC greatly expanded and upgraded Nutritional Services and the Laboratories, and now requires more calibrating work to be done on more units.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this Change Order is not approved, the CCRMC would not be able to have all its refrigerating units calibrated, which could expose patients to harm or cause a regulating agency to fine the hospital.
