RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and Authorize the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Health Services Department, to execute an amendment to Purchase Order #005146 with Universal Specialty Vehicle, Inc. to increase the payment limit by $36,460 to a new payment limit of $584,084 for necessary modifications to improve infection control and ensure sufficient generator capacity to fully support the operation of two Health Care for the Homeless mobile dental vehicles.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% by Federal Augmentation Funding.

BACKGROUND:

The Public Health Division has determined that the walls in the dental rooms and the generators need to be changed from the original specifications, to improve infection control and ensure that the generators have sufficient capacity to operate all the electrical equipment. Additionally wall mount units are being added in the dental rooms for the computers which will better utilize the physical space. These changes have resulted in an increase in cost of approximately $36,459.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Dental clinics in Contra Costa Health Service (CCHS) health centers are full and not accepting new patients at this time. Vulnerable populations such as homeless and children are often unable to get dental services in a timely manner. The purchase of two mobile dental vehicles will allow CCHS to significantly expand access to dental services to children and youth as well as homeless individuals throughout the County. The mobile units will be operated by staff from Public Health Clinic Services and will be licensed by California Department of Public Health. CCHS will request the addition of these mobile dental units to the list of health center sites approved by the Health Resources and Services Administration, which identifies health center sites serving homeless patients in Contra Costa County. The two mobile dental clinics will allow CCHS to provide needed dental services in locations that are convenient for families, youth and homeless individuals. Dental services will be provided at homeless shelters and other sites where homeless receive services and school district sites that serve predominantly low income and homeless families throughout the County. CCHS has extensive experience operating mobile clinics.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this purchase order is not approved, infection control processes will require additional resources, potential for generator failure when supporting all electrical applications in the mobile medical vehicles during operation, and inefficient use of physical space of dental offices.
