Committee approves three-year ARUP lab contract and Agility Health bed-frame maintenance agreement
Summary
The Finance Committee approved a three-year contract renewal with ARUP Laboratory, reported as about $40,000 less than last year, and awarded a patient bed-frame maintenance contract to Agility Health following a competitive bid process; both passed by voice vote.
The Hospital Authority Finance Committee approved two operational contracts: a three-year renewal with ARUP Laboratory and a maintenance contract with Agility Health for patient bed-frame services. Rick Pierce, introduced as the lab director, said ARUP is a reference laboratory the Authority has used "for about 9 years now" and that the negotiated price for the new contract is roughly $40,000 less than last year's contract.
"With this new partnership with partners, they were able to give us better pricing," Rick Pierce said when asked how costs decreased. For the bed-frame maintenance, Jerry Gallo, director of facilities, told the committee the Authority solicited three bids and the incumbent biomed contractor, Agility Health (also part of a GPO), won the award.
Both items were moved, seconded, and approved by voice vote during the meeting.
