Amendment Agreement #26-184-8 with Unilab Corporation, effective
October 1, 1997, to amend Contract #26-184-7, for the provision of

$240, 000.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This Contract is included in the Health Services Department's Enterprise
I Budget. As appropriate, patients and third-party payors will be
billed for services.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:

7 with Unilab Corporation, for the period from November 1, 1996 through
