Approve and authorize the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Health Services Department, to execute an amendment
to Purchase Order #46862 with Praxair Distribution, Inc., effective March 1, 2015, to add $40,000 for a new total of
$220,000 for oxygen, liquid nitrogen and other gases for the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and
Contra Costa Health Centers, with no change in the original term through May 31, 2015.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% funding is included in the Hospital Enterprise Fund I Budget.
BACKGROUND:
Praxair Distribution Inc. provides CCRMC and all Contra Costa Health Center with various gases. These gases are
used in many different forms and are required to be on hand and readily available to our staff for use. CCRMC has
experienced a large increase in patient load and in the number of patients requiring medical gases. In order to offer
optimum patient care, CCRMC must have an uninterrupted supply of various gases.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this Purchase Order is not approved, Praxair Distribution Inc. will put the hospital on a credit hold for past due
invoices, and we will not be able to supply the necessary gasses needed to service our patient population.
