WHEREAS, two pharmacies responded to a Request for Proposal (RFP) for pharmacy services conducted by SMMC in November, 2006; and

WHEREAS, SMMC has recommended contracting with both pharmacies due to their locations with respect to SMMC clinics, a willingness by the pharmacies to participate in the federal 340 B pharmacy discount drug program, and SMMC’s successful history of working with these two pharmacies; and

WHEREAS, there has been presented to this Board of Supervisors for its

consideration and acceptance three agreements with Anchor Drugs, reference to which is hereby made for further particulars, whereby Anchor Drugs will provide pharmacy services to patients of the Mike Nevin Health Center, the South San Francisco Health Center and the Fair Oaks Family Health Clinic, each agreement for the term from April 1, 2007 to March 31, 2010, and each with a maximum amount payable under each agreement of $360,000; and
