Approve and authorize the Health Services Director or his designee (Frank

1989 through April 30, 1991) with Roche Biomedical Laboratories, Inc. which
provides outside clinical laboratory testing for patients at Merrithew Memorial
Hospital and Clinics. Approval of this Contract Amendment will provide for
assignment of the Contract to MetWest Clinical Laboratories, Inc. , (a Delaware
corporation) , extend the term of the Contract through July 31, 1991, and
increase the Contract Payment Limit by $35,000, from $268,460 to a new Contract
Payment Limit of $303,460.

FY 1990-91, funds for next fiscal year will be included in the Department's
FY 1991-92 expenditure projections; however, as appropriate, patients and
third-party payors will be billed for services.

On May 16, 1989 the Board approved Contract #26-184 with Roche Biomedical
Laboratories, Inc. for use of outside laboratory tests, tests requiring equipment
not available at Merrithew Memorial Hospital's laboratory, and rarely requested
laboratory tests. Roche Biomedical Laboratories, Inc. has been sold to MetWest,
Inc. , the parent company of MetWest Clinical Laboratories, Inc. The request for
assignment was approved by the County Administrator's Office in accordance with
the Contract General Conditions.
Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #26-184-1 will provide for assignment
of the Contract to MetWest Clinical Laboratories, Inc. , extend the term of the
Contract through July 31, 1991 and increase the Contract Payment Limit by $35,000
