RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the Health Services Director, an Amendment to Purchase Order #F02249 with Health Care Logistics Inc., to increase payment limit by $50,000 to a new payment limit of $149,000 for the purchase of bins, security bags, cart boxes, divider sets, and all other items as required for the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) with no changes to the original term of September 1, 2015 through December 31, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

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

BACKGROUND:

Health Care Logistics, Inc., provides bins, security bags, cart boxes, divider sets, and other products utilized in the operating room and other areas of the CCRMC. CCRMC has utilized this vendor since 2006, and it would not be cost effective to change vendors at this time. Due to increased Operating Room (OR) utilization, CCRMC needs to increase funding to cover invoices until the end of the Purchase Order’s expiration.
