Body

 

COUNTY AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER GOALS & OBJECTIVES

Provide for the Safety, Health and Social Service Needs of County Residents.

 

FINANCIAL IMPACT

Approval of this item will not result in the use of Discretionary General Funding (Net County Cost). The Department of Public Health (DPH) received a one-time Department of Health Care Services allocation to purchase three mobile health clinics to provide health and dental services. Amendment No. 1 to Contract No. 24-617 (Contract) allows for dental and internet connectivity upgrades to all three units, totaling $60,000. Adequate appropriation and revenue have been included in DPH’s 2024-25 budget.

 

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

On June 25, 2024 (Item No. 78), the Board of Supervisors (Board) approved Contract No. 24-617 (Contract), via Invitation to Bid (ITB) No. DPHE24-CO-5354, with M3 Group Inc., dba Mission Mobile Medical Group (Mission) in the amount of $1,299,000. The Contract was for the purchase of three mobile health clinics to provide onsite medical and dental services to County residents. The mobile health clinics target areas which lack medical and dental facilities and populations who have limited access to care. 

 

Amendment No. 1 (Amendment) to the Contract will allow for the upgrade of dental equipment on two of the three mobile health clinics which provide dental services. Upgrades will allow DPH to expand the scope of services from screenings to restorative procedures and other more complex care, typical of a standard dental office. Specific upgrades include the installation of ambidextrous dental carts, an upgraded instrument sterilizer, and Hepa air filters in dental procedure rooms. All three units will receive Starlink satellites, allowing internet connectivity, even in far-reaching areas with limited cellular service. 

 

Approval of the Amendment will allow for the upgrade of the mobile health clinics to provide for the overall health of communities by offering additional health and dental services.

 

PROCUREMENT

Not applicable.
