SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
The Monterey County Health Department Clinic Services Bureau (Clinic Services) is a safety net provider and the only source of health care for many Monterey County residents. One of Clinic Services primary care clinics, Laurel Pediatric Clinic, located on the campus of Natividad Medical Center (NMC), is seeking to increase its capacity by expanding its operations into the space previously occupied by the Laurel Family Practice Clinic, which relocated to NMC’s Building 400. In order to accommodate the increased demand in pediatric care and to allow for better access and better quality of care, Laurel Pediatric Clinic will be expanding in size from 5,992 square feet to 11,985 square feet and increasing the number of exam rooms from 14 to 27. The expansion will enable the Health Department to accommodate an increase of patient visits and offer more programs and services to the community.
Approval of the recommended action will allow Peninsula Business Interiors (PBI) to provide the necessary office furniture and products such as free standing and/or open office panel systems, hang-on components, seating, storage cabinets, counters, shelving, chairs and workstation products, as well as product delivery, installation, and removal of existing furniture for the expansion of the Laurel Pediatric Clinic. PBI will pay prevailing wages pursuant to Labor Code 1720 and comply with all its requirements.
