SUMMARY:
The Health Care Agency requests approval of Master Agreement MA-042-12010421 with Hospital Association of Southern California for ReddiNet software license, maintenance and hardware support services.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The ReddiNet system, which is owned and operated by the Hospital Association of Southern California (HASC), provides 24/7 real-time communication and information sharing capability for Orange County’s hospitals, ambulance providers, and the Health Care Agency (HCA) for emergency medical service operations and for disaster and mass causality incidents.
HCA seeks to contract for annual ReddiNet software licenses, maintenance, and hardware support services for the three county ReddiNet locations (Orange County Communications, EMS Department Operations Center, and the Health Strategic Operations Center). The vendor will also provide interface capabilities between the ReddiNet and WebEOC systems to enable sharing of critical emergency management information.
This is a sole source contract. HASC is the sole proprietor of the ReddiNet system and has extensive experience in working with hospitals throughout southern California. They have the unique ability to bundle their components into a sustainable system that has become the first line of emergency communications between hospitals, ambulance providers, and the public health departments.
This Master Agreement contains several provisions that limit the Contractor’s liability to the contract’s purchase price. This limitation of liability applies to both breach of contract claims and indemnification for third party claims against the County (except for patent or copyright infringement claims). CEO/Risk Management has reviewed the limitation of liability and the indemnification provisions, and has determined them to be acceptable for these services.
The Master Agreement contains language which permits mutual reduction or termination without penalty if approved funding or appropriations are not forthcoming.
The proposed Master Agreement has subcontracts.
