RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Health Services Department, to execute a Purchase Order Amendment with Food Service Partners, Inc. to add $500,000 for a new total of $1,074,003, to purchase meals for patients and staff at the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) while the cafeteria and kitchen are being renovated for the period of April 18, 2016 through September 30, 2016.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% funding is included in the Hospital Enterprises Fund I Budget
BACKGROUND:
Due to the closure of the kitchen, the CCRMC does not have the ability to prepare meals for patients, staff and patrons. During this closure, the CCRMC has partnered with Food Service Partners to provide this essential service. The completion of this project has been delayed while waiting for the State to give its approval.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this Purchase Order is not approved, the CCRMC will not be able to meet the nutritional needs of patients and staff.
