Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf
of the County, Contract #26-563-5 with Total Renal Care, Inc., a corporation, in an amount
not to exceed $375,000, 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, 2011 through June 30, 2014
FISCAL IMPACT:
This contract is funded 100% by County funds. This contract reflects a rate increase, but a
decrease in total payment to contractor for three years.
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.
