RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Health Services Department, to execute a Purchase Order with Steris Corporation for $268,485.44 for the purchase of two (2) Amsco 400 sterilizers for the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) for the period from June 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% funding is included in the Hospital Enterprise Fund I Budget.
BACKGROUND:
The CCRMC has two (2) large volume sterilizers that are no longer supported by the manufacturer and need to be replaced before there are no longer any parts to keep them running. The current units are over 20 years old and are becoming more difficult to keep operational due to the scarcity of replacement parts. Steris Corporation provides the most versatile, ergonomic, eco-friendly and reliable sterilizer solution for sterilization requirements at the hospital. This will also enable CCRMC to improve ergonomics and efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and improve the environment.
