RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Auditor-Controller, or his designee, to pay $35,962.16 to Sodexo, LLC for management and oversight of the Food and Nutrition Unit at Contra Costa Regional Health Center (CCRMC), for the period November 1, 2015 through February 29, 2016.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% funding is included in the Hospital Enterprise Fund I budget.

BACKGROUND:

Sodexo America, LLC provides management and oversight of the Food and Nutrition Unit at CCRMC. Due to the emergent closure of the cafeteria at CCRMC, the Health Services Department requested an Operations Manager to support the needs at the Nutritional Services Unit. Due to an administrative oversight, the contract was not modified to add the operations manager support services prior to the expiration of the Contract.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Sodexo America, LLC continued to provide additional management and oversight of the Nutritional Services Unit through the closure of the cafeteria. Hospital Administration has therefore determined that Sodexo America, LLC is entitled to payment for the reasonable value of their services under the equitable relief theory of quantum meruit. That theory provides that where a person has been asked to provide services without a valid contract, and the provider does so to the benefit of the recipient, the provider is entitled to recover the reasonable value of those services.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Sodexo America, LLC will not be paid for services rendered in good faith to patients of the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Health Centers.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
