BACKGROUND:
San Francisco Lithotripsy Group, LLC (SF Lithotripsy) is the only local vendor that provides portable rental lithotripsy equipment and support personnel. SF Lithotripsy has been providing equipment and service to San Mateo Medical Center (SMMC) since 2008.
DISCUSSION:
The rental of lithotripsy equipment allows SMMC's patients to receive onsite treatment within 24 hours of the diagnosis of a kidney stone. This agreement is needed to pay for the lithotripsy equipment rental and support personnel.
SMMC is requesting that your Board waive the requirement for the Request for Proposals process because SF Lithotripsy is the sole provider of portable rental lithotripsy equipment and support personnel in the area.
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 and resolution have been reviewed and approved by County Counsel as to form.
This agreement contributes to the Shared Vision 2025 of a Healthy community by providing access to lithotripsy treatment for patients at SMMC. It is anticipated that 100 percent of all patients diagnosed with kidney stones will receive lithotripsy treatment within 24 hours of a diagnosis.
