Approve and authorize the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Health Services Department, to execute an amendment
to Purchase Order #F51317 with Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc., to add $125,000 for a new total of $575,000 for
various clinical and pathology laboratory reagents, small equipment, supplies and test kits for Contra Costa Regional
Medical Center (CCRMC) and the Contra Costa Health Centers, with no change in original term of May 2, 2014
through April 30, 2015.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% funding is included in the Hospital Enterprise Fund I Budget.
BACKGROUND:
Our usage went over the approved Purchase Order amount due to the increase in cost of reagents and supplies. Our
patient population has also increased, which has caused an increase in the ordering of these items. These reagents,
small equipment, supplies, test kits, controls, etc. are used for patient’s specimen testing and are specific to the
analyzer used for testing. Among the tests conducted are those for diabetes, kidney function, liver, hepatitis, iron
deficiency, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and many others.
