RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the Health Services Director, a Purchase Order with Werfen USA LLC, in an amount not to exceed $150,000 for the purchase of supplies and reagents for the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and Contra Costa Health Centers, for the period from May 1, 2019 through April 30, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% funding is included in the Hospital Enterprise Fund I budget.

BACKGROUND:

The Clinical Laboratory at CCRMC needs to purchase supplies and reagents for the current ACL TOP 500 analyzers. The Clinical Laboratory uses these analyzers to perform various tests for patients of the CCRMC and only Werfen USA LLC can provide the reagents and supplies needed to do so.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this Purchase Order is not approved, then the CCRMC Clinical Laboratory will not be able to perform the requested tests ordered by physicians for their Coumadin patients, and the ACL TOP 500 analyzers can no longer be utilized.
