SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
The Health Department Clinic Services Bureau (Clinic Services) operates ten community clinic sites designated as Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) which provide preventive, primary, and specialty medical care services.
The Board of Supervisors approved Agreement No. A-14205 with ABS Global, Inc., DBA Advantage Biomedical Services on December 11, 2018 for the term January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2021, pursuant to the County requirements originally set forth in the terms and conditions of RFP#10670.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Clinic Services purchased 130 HEPA air purifier units for exam rooms and common reception areas for all ten FQHC clinics in 2020, requiring professional installation, certification and ongoing preventive and filter replacement services. Amendment No. 1 incorporates the additional funding needed to cover the added costs and increased servicing needs for the HEPA units through December 31, 2022.
On April 2, 2021, Advantage Biomedical Services, Inc. assumed ownership and assumption of all services and obligations under this Agreement from ABS Global, Inc., DBA Advantage Biomedical Services.
Approval of the recommended action will allow ongoing preventive and repair servicing of all existing biomedical equipment, including the new HEPA equipment recently purchased due to COVID-19, under the reconfigured name of Advantage Biomedical Services, Inc.
