Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf
of the County, Contract #26-583-7 with Specialty Laboratories Inc., a corporation, in an
amount not to exceed $600,000, for the provision of outside clinical laboratory services for
Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Centers, for the period
from January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This Contract is 100% funded by Enterprise Fund I. As appropriate, patients and third party
payors will be billed for services.
BACKGROUND:
Certain laboratory tests require equipment not available at Contra Costa Regional Medical
Center's laboratory. Because of the large number and diversity of laboratory tests used by
the medical community to make diagnoses, most hospitals have to utilize outside
laboratories, as it is too cost prohibitive to provide all tests on site. Contra Costa County has
used the services of outside laboratories for over twenty-five years.
