RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute Contract #76-675-3 containing mutual indemnification, with University of California San Francisco (dba UCSF Medical Center), a government agency in an amount not to exceed $2,000, to provide laboratory testing services for Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and Contra Costa Health Centers, for the period July 1, 2022 through July 31, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this contract will result in one month expenditures of up to $2,000 and will be funded as budgeted by the Department in FY 2022-2023 100% by Hospital Enterprise Fund I revenues. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers have an obligation to provide medical laboratory testing services for patients. Therefore, when specialized patient specimen testing is required for patient care and when the required testing equipment is not available at county facilities, the county contracts with outside laboratory testing services to provide specialized testing services. Contractor has been providing laboratory testing services since 2017 formerly under a purchase order with CCRMC.

On July 27, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #76-675-2, with University of California, San Francisco (dba UCSF Medical Center), in an amount not to exceed $25,000 for the provision of specialized laboratory testing services at CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers for the period from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022.

Approval of Contract #76-675-3 will allow the contractor to continue providing specialized laboratory testing services at CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers for the period July 1, 2022 through July 31, 2022. This contract contains mutual indemnification.

This contract is being processed for one month while County and Contractor continue to negotiate the rates for the remainder of 2022 and 2023. Once the rates have been agreed to the Department will process a one-year contract.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, patients requiring outside laboratory testing services at CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers will not have access to Agency’s services.
