BACKGROUND:
San Mateo Medical Center (SMMC) uses service agreements to repair and maintain its surgery equipment to keep it in optimal condition for operating room procedures.
DISCUSSION:
SMMC recently purchased new laparoscopic equipment from Stryker Sales Corporation (Stryker) to replace its current equipment. This agreement with Stryker will provide service and maintenance coverage to keep the equipment in optimal condition. In addition, Stryker will provide overnight loaner equipment in the event that extensive repairs are needed, to reduce the impact on SMMC's patients. Stryker uses proprietary technology and is the sole provider of service for their equipment. Therefore, SMMC is requesting that your Board waive the Request for Proposals process.
The agreement and resolution have been reviewed and approved by County Counsel as to form. This agreement is coming to your Board late due to protracted negotiations.
The resolution contains the County's standard provisions allowing amendment of the County fiscal obligations by a maximum of $25,000 (in aggregate).
The agreement contributes to the Shared Vision 2025 outcome of a Healthy Community by maintaining SMMC's equipment to provide the highest quality of care to its patients. It is anticipated that equipment repairs will be completed or a loaner dispatched within four hours.
