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 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.
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.

The cost for this Amendment No. 5 is $40,000 for a revised total Agreement amount not to exceed $486,000. $486,000 and is included in the Fiscal Year 2014/2015 Recommended Budget. 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.
