RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract Amendment Agreement #26-338-27, including mutual indemnification, with American Red Cross, a Non-Profit Corporation, to amend Contract #26-338-26, to increase the payment limit by $500,000, from $1,500,000 to a new payment limit of $2,000,000 and extend the term date from June 30, 2023 to June 30, 2024 to continue blood services at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC).

FISCAL IMPACT:

This amendment will result in additional expenditures of up to $500,000 and will be funded 100% by Hospital Enterprise Fund I revenues. (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

CCRMC has been contracting with the American Red Cross since 1998 for their expertise in providing total blood and blood component products and associated services as needed for patients at CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On September 10, 2019, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-338-24 with American Red Cross, in an amount not to exceed $1,500,000 with ARC for the provision of total blood and blood component products and services associated as needed for CCRMC patients for the period July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2023.

On June 22, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract Amendment Agreement #26-338-26 with American Red Cross, to modify the rate schedule to include additional blood platelet services and associated services as needed for patients at the CCRMC through June 30, 2023.

Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #26-338-27 will allow the contractor to continue providing blood services at CCRMC through June 30, 2024. This amendment includes both parties agreeing to indemnify each other for any claims arising from the performance under this agreement.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, contractor will not be able to provide additional blood services benefiting patients at CCRMC.
