RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract Amendment Agreement #26-338-26 containing mutual indemnification, with American Red Cross (ARC), a Non-Profit Corporation, effective June 1, 2021, to amend Contract #26-338-24 to modify the rate schedule to include additional blood services at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) with no change in the original payment limit of $1,500,000 or term July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This amendment will result in no fiscal change to the original service expenditure of up to $1,500,000 over a three-year period and will be 100% funded by Hospital Enterprise Fund I revenues. (Additional rate)

BACKGROUND:

CCRMC has been contracting with the ARC 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 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, 2022.

Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #26-338-26 will allow this contractor to modify the rate schedule to include additional blood platelet services and associated services as needed for patients at the CCRMC for the period from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2022.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

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