corporation, in an amount not to exceed $469,475, to provide blood treatment services
including dialysis, renal replacement and apheresis therapies for inmates at the County’s
Adult Detention Facility, for the period from July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2011.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This contract is funded 100% by County funds.
BACKGROUND:
Historically, blood services have been very complicated to obtain for inmates at the
County’s Martinez Adult Detention Facility, compromising the health of seriously ill
inmates. This contract will allow inmates to receive blood services at the Martinez
Detention Facility at a cost approximately 60% less than transporting inmates to outside
vendors. This Contractor has been providing services to the County since 2006.
On September 23, 2008, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-563-2
