Body
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the Board of Supervisors authorize the Purchasing Manager for Natividad Medical Center (NMC) to execute Amendment No. 3 to the Agreement (A-11696) with Paragon Mechanical for Repair and Maintenance Services at NMC, extending the Agreement to June 30, 2013 and adding $140,000 for a revised total Agreement amount not to exceed $446,000 in the aggregate.
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
Paragon Mechanical specializes in preventive maintenance and repair service on Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems. Paragon Mechanical possesses expertise on the more complex HVAC components such as chillers, and variable frequency drives (VFD's) as well as on medical air compressors and medical vacuum pumps. These systems and components are vital to patient care at NMC and are regulated and audited by the Joint Commission for the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (TJC), and the state of California through Title 22 and Title 24. The HVAC systems are also vital to supporting equipment and processes in the Laboratory, Radiology, and the Pharmacy. NMC has had an agreement with Paragon Mechanical since 2008.
There is a $60,000 increase over the fiscal year 2011/2012 amount, partly for the addition of equipment in previous years. The increase is also due to energy savings/carbon reduction efforts and the aging of existing equipment. In addition, NMC anticipates the purchase of equipment which will require maintenance under this agreement during fiscal year 2012/ 2013.

County Counsel has reviewed and approved this Amendment as to legal form and risk provisions. Auditor-Controller has reviewed and approved this Amendment as to fiscal provisions. The Amendment has also been reviewed and approved by Natividad Medical Center's Board of Trustees.
FINANCING:
The cost for this Amendment is $140,000 and is included in the Fiscal Year 2012/2013 Recommended Budget. There is no impact to the General Fund.
