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 has since purchased 220 HEPA air purifier units for exam rooms and common reception areas for all ten FQHC clinics, 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 of HEPA units through December 31, 2022. Amendment No. 2 incorporates an additional group of HEPA units purchased and extends ongoing preventive maintenance and repair services for all biomedical equipment through December 31, 2026.
Approval of the recommended action will allow continued preventive and repair servicing of all existing biomedical equipment, including the added HEPA air purifier units recently purchased in response to COVID-19.
