RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Auditor-Controller, or designee, to pay an amount of $40,832.55 to Acusis, LLC for medical transcription and dictation services for Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) for the months of March 2015, July 2015, January 2017 and February 2017.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract is funded 100% Hospital Enterprise Fund I.

BACKGROUND:

Due to the Health Services Department's Public Health Division also utilizing Contractor's transcription services, CCRMC was unaware additional services had been requested and provided and that the payment limit had been exceeded.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The Contractor is entitled to payment for the reasonable value of its services under the equitable relief theory of quantum meruit. That theory provides that where a contractor has been asked to provide services without a valid contract, and the contractor does so to the benefit of the County, the Contractor is entitled to recover the reasonable value of those services. Acusis, LLC provided services at the request of the County after the original contract payment limit had been reached.

The Department is requesting the amount due the Contractor be paid in an amount of $40,832.55 for services rendered the months of March 2015, July 2015, January 2017 and February 2017.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
