Report Title: Purchase Order with GE Precision Healthcare LLC
☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, or designee, to execute on behalf of the Health Services Director, a one-time purchase order with GE Precision Healthcare LLC in an amount not to exceed $16,719, and the On Demand Quote Terms and Conditions and Addendum for the purchase of an X-ray Tube Unit for Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC).
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of this action will result in a one-time capital expenditure of up to $16,719 and will be funded by Hospital Enterprise Fund I revenues.
BACKGROUND:
The Legacy Digital 22/32 II currently in use at CCRMC has a broken X-ray tube, rendering the system partially inoperable. This unit is critical for providing both radiography and fluoroscopy services, and its failure is significantly impacting CCRMC’s ability to deliver timely imaging to patients. Replacement of the X-ray tube or the system is urgently needed to restore full functionality, prevent delays in patient care, and ensure the ability to maintain continuous diagnostic services for CCRMC.
This purchase is subject to GE Precision Healthcare LLC (GE Healthcare) general terms and conditions which limit GE HealthCare’s liability for direct damages to the County and will not exceed the price of the product or service that is the basis for the claim. Approval of this request will allow GE Healthcare to proceed with the provision and installation of the necessary equipment, ensuring uninterrupted radiology and fluoroscopy services and supporting timely patient care.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this action is not approved, CCRMC may face delays in radiology and fluoroscopy services, increased downtime due to equipment failure, and potential disruption to patient care.
