SUBJECT: Approval of Contract #26-184-13 with Unilab Corporation
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee
(Frank Puglisi, Jr. ) , to execute on behalf of the County, Contract
#26-184-13 with Unilab Corporation, for the period from November 1,
2001 through October 31, 2002 , in an amount not to exceed $250, 000,
for the provision of outside clinical laboratory services for Contra
Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Centers .
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This Contract is included in the Department ' s Enterprise I Budget .
As appropriate, patients and third-party payors will be billed for
services .
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
On December 5, 2000, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract
#26-184-12 with Unilab Corporation, for the period from November 1,
2000 through October 31, 2001, for the provision of outside clinical
laboratory services .
These tests require equipment not available at Contra Costa Regional
Medical Center' s laboratory and are rarely requested laboratory
tests . Because of the large number and diversity of laboratory
tests used by the medical community to make diagnoses, most
hospitals have to utilize outside laboratories as it is too
cost-prohibitive to provide all tests on site . Contra Costa County
has used the services of outside laboratories for over twenty-five
years .
Approval of Contract #26-184-13 will allow Contractor to continue
providing services through October 31, 2002 .
