RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #72-155-3 with National Labs, Inc., a corporation, to amend Contract #72-155-2, to extend the termination date from July 31, 2022 through June 30, 2023, with no change in the original payment limit of $8,910,000 to continue to provide clinical laboratory services for COVID-19 tests for Contra Costa Health Services (CCHS).

FISCAL IMPACT:

This extension will result in no change to the original payment limit of $8,910,000 which is funded 100% by the Federal American Rescue Plan Act.

BACKGROUND:

On March 10, 2020, the Board of Supervisors requested that the Governor proclaim a State of Emergency in Contra Costa County (Gov. Code Section 8625) due to COVID-19. The Health Department must use all available preventative measures to combat the spread of COVID-19 which includes testing and vaccine administration. The Department must enter into contracts for these services and competitive bidding requirements are suspended to the extent necessary to address the effects of COVID-19. This contract will increase the County's ability to processes laboratory specimens related to COVID-19 testing collected throughout the County and reduce delays in receiving test results.
This contract will establishes a relationship between CCHS and contractor to increase the county's ability to processes laboratory specimens related to COVID-19 testing collected throughout the county and reduce delays in receiving test results. The Contractor has been providing these services to CCHS since August 2020.

On August 10, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #72-155-2 with National Labs, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $8,910,000 to provide clinical laboratory services for COVID-19 tests for CCHS for the period from August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2022.

Approval of Extension Agreement #72-155-3 will allow contractor to continue to provide clinical laboratory services, including laboratory processing of COVID-19 tests for CCHS through June 30, 2023.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this extension is not approved, county will not have access to contractor’s clinical laboratory services and COVID-19 testing results will be delayed.
