RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the Health Services Director, an amendment to purchase order #F02871 with Avella of Deer Valley Inc., to increase the payment limit by $1,000,000 for a new payment limit of $2,000,000 for the compounding of chemotherapy regimens for Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and to extend the termination date through February 28, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% Hospital Enterprise Fund l.

BACKGROUND:

Avella of Deer Valley, Inc., is the only compounding pharmacy that can provide CCRMC and its clinic patients with certain compounded medications at this time. Due to State and Federal requirements already in place, Martinez Infusion Pharmacy is currently under construction to assure compliance with these regulatory requirements. To continue providing services to its cancer patients during this construction work, CCRMC and its clinics need to extend the services provided by Avella of Deer Valley, Inc., until the anticipated construction completion date of February 28, 2019.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this purchase order is not approved, CCRMC will not be able to take care of its most vulnerable patient population.
