III . REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
Contract #26-150 (effective October 1 , 1986 - September 30,
1987 ) was approved by the Purchasing Agent . Contract Amendment
Agreement #26-150-1 , which increased the level of services and
the contract payment limit , was approved by the Board on
July 28, 1987 .
This new Amendment Agreement #26-150-2 provides for the addition
of OB/GYN ultrasound testing procedures . The Hospital ' s
Radiology Department performs OB/GYN ultrasound testing but has
been unable to meet the need for this service . Under this
Amendment Agreement the Contractor will provide routine OB/GYN
ultrasound testing to the Clinics and alleviate some of the
Radiology Department ' s heavy load .
