Report
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the Board of Supervisors authorize the Purchasing Manager for Natividad Medical Center (NMC) to execute Amendment No. 5 to the Agreement (A-12060/MYA653) with Certified Medical Testing for repair, maintenance and testing of medical gas system services at NMC, extending the Agreement to June 30, 2015 for a total Agreement amount not to exceed $150,000 in the aggregate.
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
Certified Medical Testing provides the certification and expertise for fume hood and chemotherapy hood certification, waste anesthesia gas and glutaraldehyde monitoring, radiation badge monitoring, anesthetizing location air change measurement, and maintenance and testing on medical oxygen, medical air, nitrous oxide, nitrogen, and medical vacuum systems. Maintenance, testing, and repairs are required by the Joint Commission and the National Fire Protection Association.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
County Counsel has reviewed and approved this Amendment No. 5 as to legal form and risk provisions. Auditor-Controller has reviewed and approved this Amendment No. 5 as to fiscal provisions. The CAO-Budget and Analysis Division has advised to inform the BOS the spending authority (appropriations) associated with NMC's FY 2014 Adopted Budget has been exceeded and approval and authorization for modification of NMC's appropriation budget should be presented to the BOS. Since NMC is an Enterprise Fund, this does not prevent continued expenditures and is not a legal requirement, but it is considered good public policy, transparency and fiscal management. The Amendment No. 5 has also been reviewed and approved by Natividad Medical Center's Finance Committee 4.24.14 and Board of Trustees 5.2.14.
FINANCING:
There is no cost for this Amendment No. 5. As a result of Amendment No. 4, the Board of Supervisors approved a $20,000 increase for Fiscal Year 2012-2013 in the maximum liability for the Agreement (for a total Agreement amount not to exceed $150,000 in the aggregate). NMC is confirming its appropriations position and if its spending authority has been exceeded will return to the Board. There is no impact to the General Fund.
