RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Auditor-Controller, or designee, to pay $94,124 to Sodexo America, LLC, a Limited Liability Company, to provide management and oversight of the Environmental Services Unit at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and Contra Costa Health Centers, for the period January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This expense will be paid by 100% Hospital Enterprise Fund I revenues.

BACKGROUND:

On February 26, 2019, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-614-13 with Sodexo America, LLC for the provision of management and oversight of the Environment Services Unit at the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC), and Contra Costa Health Centers for the period from January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

At the time of negotiations, the payment limit was based on target levels of utilization. However, the utilization during the term of the agreement was higher than originally anticipated.

The provider 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. Sodexo America, LLC provided management and oversight of the Environmental Services Unit at CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers that exceeded the contract payment limit at the request of the Department. The Department is requesting that the Contractor be issued a one-time payment in the amount owed of $94,124.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this Board Order is not approved, the contractor will not be paid for the environmental management services provided to the County in good faith.
