RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE AND AUTHORIZE the Auditor-Controller, or his designee, to pay $550 to Garda CL West, Inc. for the provision of armored transport services rendered at Contra Costa County Health Services Department during the period January 1, 2016 through January 31, 2016.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% Hospital Enterprise Fund I.

BACKGROUND:

Garda CL West, Inc. has been providing armored transport services to Contra Costa County Health Services Department for several years. The provider has not been paid in full for prior services provided during January 1, 2016 through January 31, 2016. 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 provider does so to the benefit of the recipient, the provider is entitled to recover the reasonable value of those services. Here, Garda CL West, Inc. provided services at the request of the department after the contract payment limit was reached. The Division is requesting the amount due to the Contractor be paid in the amount of $550.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this is not approved, Contractor will not be paid for services provided in good faith to Contra Costa County Health Services Department.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
