HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 01062015 - C.59RECOMMENDATION(S):
Approve and authorize the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Health Services Department, to execute a blanket
purchase order with American Messaging Services Inc., in the amount not to exceed $130,000 for rental of pagers
used by staff at the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Health Services Clinics for the period from January 7,
2015 through January 6, 2017.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% Funding is included in the Enterprise Fund I Budget.
BACKGROUND:
American Messaging Services provides pagers rented by Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Health Services
Clinics; we rent approximately 900 pagers at this time. It is vital that the hospital be able to contact employees.
American Messaging Services handles the paging services for every agency in the County, thus enabling the County
to standardize its communication needs in the event of a disaster.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The inability to communicate with other County agencies in the event of a disaster could be detrimental to all the
patients and staff.
