RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #76-682 containing mutual indemnification with Regents of the University of California, Davis (dba University of California, Davis Health), a government agency, in an amount not to exceed $35,000, to provide specialized outside laboratory testing services at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and Contra Costa Health Centers, for the period November 1, 2019 through October 31, 2021.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this contract will result in service expenditures of up to $35,000 over a two-year period, and will be funded as budgeted by the department in FY 2020-2021, by 100% Hospital Enterprise Fund I allocations.

BACKGROUND:

CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers have an obligation to provide medical staffing services to patients. Therefore, the County contracts with outside laboratory testing services in order to provide testing services not available at County facilities, to ensure patient care is provided as required. This contractor has been providing outside laboratory testing services for several years, formerly under a purchase order, and was required to convert to a county contract.

Under Contract #76-682, the contractor will provide specialized outside laboratory testing services for CCRMC for the period November 1, 2019 through October 31, 2021. This agreement contains a modification to the County General Conditions, Paragraph 18 (Indemnification).

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, patients requiring specialized outside laboratory testing services at CCRMC will not have access to this contractor’s services.
