SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
The Public Health Laboratory (PHL) is requesting a contract with EMD Millipore Corporation to purchase a Milli-Q IQ700 water purification system to replace an existing Millipore Academic system that is failing quality control requirements, outdated, and lacking replacement parts.
The County of Monterey, Health Department, Public Health Laboratory and Consolidated Chemistry Laboratory uses Millipore water purification systems to produce pure and ultrapure water required for specific lab testing equipment, procedures, and reagents used to detect disease causing organisms, such as Legionella and E. coli 0157. Lower grades of laboratory water can drastically affect equipment performance and test results. Milli-Q Purification systems are the most widely used systems in clinical and environmental laboratories worldwide.
This work supports the Monterey County Health Department 2018-2022 Strategic Plan Goals: 2. Enhance public health and safety through prevention; and 3. Ensure access to culturally and linguistically appropriate, customer-friendly, quality health services. It also supports two of the following Ten Essential Public Health Services: 1. Assess and monitor population health status, factors that influence health, and community needs and assets; and 2. Investigate, diagnose, and address health problems and hazards affecting the population.

The Office of the County Counsel has reviewed and approved as to form. Auditor-Controller has reviewed and approved the Agreement as to fiscal provisions. Risk Manager has not approved due to non-standard risk provisions.
FINANCING:
