RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the Health Services Director, an amendment to Purchase Order #F03618 with Veritiv Operating Company (formerly Unisource, Inc.), to increase the payment limit by $99,000 to a new payment limit of $976,000 for the purchase of janitorial supplies of all types for the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and Contra Costa Health Center with no change in the original term of January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

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

BACKGROUND:

The CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers have been purchasing janitorial supplies from Unisource, Inc. since 2007, who provides all the necessary disinfecting and cleaning agents used by the Environmental Services Unit to insure the hospital and clinics are disinfected to the standards of the State of California. The Purchase Order we have with Unisource, Inc. is going to run out of funds, and the company has changed their name to Veritiv Operating Company.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this purchase order is not approved, then the CCRMC and clinics cannot be cleaned and disinfected up to the State of California code until we can find a suitable replacement for this vendor. This may cause patients and staff to be more susceptible to infectious diseases and will affect not only patient care but also endanger our hospital license.
