By: Jacqueline Pigg, Contracts Administrator
DATE:
April 25, 2007 °� County
SUBJECT: Correct January 9, 2007 Board Order Item#C.54 with Specialty Laboratories,Inc.
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Correct the Board Order which was approved by the Board of Supervisors on January 9, 2007, (C.54) with
Specialty Laboratories, Inc., a corporation, to reflect the intent of the parties with no change in the original
Payment Limit in an amount not to exceed $400,000 and no change to the term of January 1, 2007 through
December 31, 2007 for provision of outside clinical laboratory services for Contra Costa Regional Medical
Center and Contra Costa Health Centers, to include mutual indemnification to hold harmless both parties for
any claims arising out of the performance of this Contract.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This Contract is 100% funded by Enterprise I Funds. As appropriate, patients and third-party payors will be
billed for services.
BACKGROUND/REASON(S) FOR RECOMMENDATION(S):
Certain laboratory tests require equipment not available at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center's laboratory
and are rarely requested 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.
Under Contract #26-583, Specialty Laboratories, Inc will provide outside laboratory services for Contra
Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Centers, through December 31, 2007.
