RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the Health Services Department, an amendment to Purchase Order #F10588 with Reliance Wholesale, Inc., to increase the payment limit by $250,000 to a new payment limit of $425,000 for the purchase of intravenous (IV) and pharmaceutical drugs and supplies to be used at the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Health Centers, with no change in the original term of January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

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

BACKGROUND:

Reliance Wholesale, Inc., is a pharmaceutical company that provides the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Health Centers with medications and pharmaceutical products unavailable through the contracted wholesaler Cardinal or the direct manufacturer of these products.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Due to an extreme nationwide shortage of pharmaceutical drugs, the current purchase order needs additional funds to purchase pharmaceutical drugs when our wholesaler Cardinal or Manufacturers are unable to provide the needed drugs.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, we will not be able to take care of our patient population at the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Health Centers.
