RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Auditor-Controller, or designee, to pay $63,334 to Applied Remedial Services, Inc., a corporation, for the provision of removal and disposal of hazardous waste and chemical services for the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and Health Centers for the month of November 2017.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract is funded 100% by Hospital Enterprise I Fund.

BACKGROUND:

Applied Remedial Services, Inc., has been providing removal and disposal of hazardous waste and chemical services for the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and Health Centers for several years. On November 15, 2016, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-692-11 with Applied Remedial Services, Inc., for the period from January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017, for the provision of removal and disposal of hazardous waste and chemical services for CCRMC and Health Centers.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The utilization during the term of the agreement was higher than originally anticipated. The services rendered exceeded the contract payment limit by $63,334. 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 provider has been asked to provide services over the value of the contract, the provider does so to the benefit of the recipient. The provider is entitled to recover the reasonable value of those services.

The division requested and the contractor provided services in excess of the contract payment limit and is requesting payment be made to the contractor in the amount owing of $63,334 for services rendered during the month of November 2017. The contract renewal for 2018 is currently in place.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this payment is not approved, Applied Remedial Services, Inc., will not be paid for hazardous waste removal and disposal services provided to the County in good faith.
