RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Health Services Department, to execute a Purchase Order with Bay Cities Produce Company, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $280,000 for the purchase of whole and processed fresh fruits and vegetables for the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) for the period July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

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

BACKGROUND:

Fresh fruits and vegetables are required to prepare meals that meet American Dietetic Association (ADA) requirements for balanced nutrition for the patients of the CCMRC. Bay Cities Produce Company, Inc. has been working with local farms and the Brentwood Agricultural Land Trust to certify and purchase from local farmers. They operate their own processing plant which meets all government and Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) requirements. This allows the CCRMC to purchase locally grown products that are guaranteed to be safe and fulfill the mandate from the Contra Costa Board of Supervisors to purchase as much local produce as possible.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this Purchase Order is not approved the CCRMC will not be able to meet ADA requirements for balanced nutrition for its patients.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
