RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Health Services Department, to execute an amendment to Purchase Order with Fisher Scientific, LLC, to add $700,000 for a new total of $1,900,000, for the purchase of various laboratory reagents, equipment, supplies, test kits, and brain natriuretic peptide for the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC), with no change in the original term of May 1, 2015 through April 30, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

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

BACKGROUND:

These reagents, equipment, supplies, test kits, tubes, controls, etc. are used for patient specimen testing and are specific to the analyzer used for testing. Among the tests conducted are those for diabetes, kidney function, liver, iron deficiency, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. The request for an increase in funds is due to the increase in the volume of patient testing, which requires more reagents and associated supplies.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this Purchase Order Amendment is not approved the CCRMC Clinical Laboratory will be unable to perform patient testing. This will impact patient care and safety.
