RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and Authorize the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Health Services Department, to execute an amendment to the Purchase Order with Wright Medical Technology Inc. to add $90,000 for a new total payment limit of $189,000 for orthopedic implants and supplies to be used at the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC), with no change in the term of January 1, 2015 through January 31, 2017.

FISCAL IMPACT:

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

BACKGROUND:

Wright Medical Technology Inc. is a manufacturer and distributor of specialty Orthopedic implants and instrumentations that provides the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center Orthopedic Department with extremities implants and biologic bone grafts. The surgical staff prefers using Wright implants, so the additional expense associated with this amendment request should be offset by a corresponding decrease in the use of other suppliers.
