RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the Health Services Director, a Purchase Order with Medline Industries Inc., in an amount not to exceed $33,000,000 for medical supplies, cleaning supplies, disaster supplies, and miscellaneous equipment for the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and Contra Costa Health Centers, for the period from June 27, 2019 through June 26, 2022.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% funding is included in the Hospital Enterprise Fund I budget.
BACKGROUND:
Medline Industries, Inc. is the primary distributor for medical and non-medical supplies and products for the CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers. Purchasing from them enables the Health Services Department to take advantage of their status as a Vizient vendor, thus enabling the Department to collect annual rebates.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this Purchase Order is not approved, then the CCRMC and the Contra Costa Health Centers will be unable to procure sufficient supplies, which could possibly impact patient care.
