Subject: Agreement with Total Renal Care, Inc. to Provide Acute Care Dialysis, Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis, and Clinical Apheresis Services
RECOMMENDATION:
title
Adopt a resolution authorizing an agreement with Total Renal Care, Inc. to provide acute care dialysis, continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis, and clinical apheresis services for the term of March 1, 2022 through February 28, 2025, in an amount not to exceed $3,000,000.
body
BACKGROUND:
San Mateo County is responsible for providing medical care to its medically indigent adult population, including acute inpatient dialysis treatment at San Mateo Medical Center (SMMC). Due to the costs associated with necessary equipment and the need for specialized staffing, it is more economical to contract for this service with a third-party vendor than to perform the services at SMMC. A Request for Proposals was completed for these services in August of 2021.
DISCUSSION:
Total Renal Care, Inc., formerly known as Davita, Inc., has been providing SMMC with high quality dialysis care since 1999 and was elevated again due to their price, quality, and ability to provide a local team to cater positive patient experience through their services.
County Counsel has reviewed and approved the resolution and agreement as to form.
The resolution contains the County's standard provisions allowing amendment of the County fiscal obligations by a maximum of $25,000 (in aggregate).
It is anticipated that fulfillment of physician orders by the contractor will be 95% of greater.
