DATE: February 28, 1994 County
SUBJECT: Approval of Purchase Order for Non-Emergent 1
Patient Transportation
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the County's Purchasing Agent or his designee to
utilize Purchase Order documents, not to exceed a total of $100, 000 in
any Fiscal Year for payment to various vendors for non-emergent
transportation for County's patients receiving care under the auspices
of the Health Services Department.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
These ervices are funded in the Health Services Department's Fiscal
Year B dget by Enterprise I and appropriate third party payors.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
The Merrithew Memorial Hospital and Clinics operation requires
transportation services for patients who do not have the resources,
but do have a medical condition requiring transportation for their
medical care. In addition, the County must provide certain non-
emergency transportation for the medically indigent under the
requirements of the Gascoine agreement between the County and Contra
Costa Legal Services Foundation.
The Department is making every effort to meet patients' transportation
needs by using the appropriate, available vendors of transportation
services in the County, while striving to keep transportation costs at
a minimum.
Approval of this Board Order will allow the County's Purchasing Agent
to issue Purchase Orders for patient transportation in excess of his
$25, 000 limit for purchase of services during any twelve-month period.
