In May of 2005 the Health Department released a Request for Proposals for clinical laboratory services for BHRS and Correctional Health.

Your Board approved an amendment to that Agreement on April 17, 2006 under Resolution 67958, extending the term through June 30, 2008 and increasing the maximum obligation to $675,000.
|
|
|
DISCUSSION:
|
The Agreement with LabCorp is for the provision of clinical laboratory services for clients of BHRS and Correctional Health Services. LabCorp shall also provide specimen transport services and phlebotomy services for both BHRS and Correctional Health.
|
