On October 5, 2018, Health Services Materials Management Unit initiated a contract renewal for Beavex, Inc., a for profit corporation, which had been the handling courier needs for the Health Services Department. The contract was sent to Beavex, Inc. for signature but was never returned. In the spring of 2019, the Materials Management Unit received an e-mail from TForce Final Mile West, LLC, stating that Beavex Inc. had declared bankruptcy and sold all its assets to TForce Final Mile West, LLC. At no time was the Health Services Department notified of this change by Beavex, Inc., nor was it notified by TForce Final Mile West, LLC until months after the fact. At this time, TForce Final Mile West, LLC was notified via e-mail to cease performing courier services immediately because there was no contract in place, and the vendor was asked to submit all the outstanding invoices for services that they had provided.  
  
Health Services Department has determined that TForce Final Mile West, LLC is entitled to payment for the reasonable value of their services under the equitable relief theory of quantum meruit. This theory provides that where a vendor has provided services without a valid contract, and the provider does so to the benefit of the County, the vendor is entitled to recover the reasonable value of these services. Hence, the Health Services Department is requesting that TForce Final Mile West, LLC, be paid the amount owing of $88,159.53.

If this request is not approved, the County cannot pay the vendor, TForce Final Mile West, LLC, for services rendered.
