RECOMMENDATION(S):
Approve and authorize the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Health Services Department, to execute a Blanket Purchase Order with Hill-Rom Company Inc. in the amount of $374,949 for a service agreement on rental beds at the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) for the period November 1, 2016 through October 31, 2019.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% funding is included in the Hospital Enterprise Fund I Budget.
BACKGROUND:
Hill-Rom Company Inc., is the only supplier for the specialty beds used at the CCRMC. They provide all the service, repairs, and replacement of the specialty beds. Without the service agreement in place, the CCRMC will not be able to provide the specialty beds needed in Labor and Delivery, specialty beds with higher weight limits, or beds needed for patients with special requirements.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this Purchase Order is not approved, we will not be able to provide the beds required to care for our patient population at the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center.
