RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the Health Services Department, an amendment to Purchase Order #009142 with Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc., to increase the original payment limit of $470,000 by $450,000 to a new payment limit of $920,000 for the purchase of reagents and supplies for the D-100 Hemoglobin Testing System at the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC), with no change in the original term of July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

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

BACKGROUND:

The CCRMC Clinical Laboratory utilizes Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. for reagents, various controls, media and supplies for the D-100 Hemoglobin Testing System, which tests for iron deficiency and polycythemia. It is also used for hemoglobin A1C testing in patients with diabetes. The original Purchase Order was drastically underestimated for the length of time that the Purchase Order would be in effect.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the amendment to the Purchase Order is not approved, the CCRMC and Clinical Laboratory will not be able to perform patient testing, thus impacting patient safety and health.
