SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION(S):
Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee (Jeff Smith, M.D.), to execute on behalf
of the County, Contract #26-563 with DVA Healthcare Renal Care, Inc., a corporation, in an amount not to
exceed $70,000, to provide blood treatment services including dialysis, renal replacement and apheresis
therapies for inmates at the County's Adult Detention Facility, for the period from April 1, 2006 through
January 31, 2008. In accordance with the terms of the agreement, County agrees to defend, indemnify and
hold harmless the Contractor and its shareholders, affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents for,
from and against any claim, loss, liability, cost and expense (including, without limitation, cost of
investigation and reasonable attorney's fees) directly or indirectly relating to, resulting from or arising out of
any action or failure to act by County and its staff.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funding for this contract is included in the Health Services Department Enterprise I budget.
BACKGROUND/REASON(S) FOR RECOMMENDATION(S):
Historically, blood services have been very complicated to obtain for inmates at the County's Martinez Adult
Detention Facility resulting in compromising the health of seriously ill inmates. This contract will allow
inmates to receive blood services at the Martinez Detention Facility at a cost approximately 60% less than
transporting inmates to outside vendors.
Under Contract #26-563, the Contractor will provide blood services including, but not limited to, dialysis,
renal replacement and apheresis therapies for inmates at the Martinez Detention Facility, through January 31,
2008.
