HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 04292014 - C.37RECOMMENDATION(S):
Approve and authorize the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Health Services Department, to execute a Blanket
Purchase Order for Concord Yellow Cab for $150,000 for Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa
Health Centers from January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014 to provide non-emergency patient transportation.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Total Cost of $150,000.00 is budgeted in Enterprise Fund I.
BACKGROUND:
Taxis have been used within the Health Services Department for over fourteen (14) years. Having the availability of
Taxi’s for some of our patients has enabled us to provide timely care to our patients. A few years ago when
Non-Emergency Transportation was discontinued, we were cited by the State for not providing adequate transport
for proper discharge of our patients. In order to be in compliance, we must continue to provide Non-Emergency
transportation for those patients in need.
