RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Auditor-Controller, to pay $241,865 to Sharjo, Inc. (dba Service Master Restoration Services), a corporation, for providing emergency restoration services to resolve emergency events requiring immediate assistance at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and Health Centers, for the months September 1, 2020 through November 30, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this payment for services will result in an expenditure of $241,865 and will be funded 100% by Hospital Enterprise Fund I revenues.

BACKGROUND:

On November 12, 2019, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #76-624-1 (as amended by Amendment Agreement #76-624-3) with Sharjo, Inc. (dba Service Master Restoration Services) to provide emergency restoration services to resolve emergency events requiring immediate assistance as determined by the Facilities Administration staff at CCRMC and Health Centers for the period December 1, 2019 through November 30, 2020.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The contractor met the contract payment limit of $3,700,000 and due to a COVID-19 surge, services needed to increase immediately. Due to COVID-19, County has been using contractor seven days per week to perform deep cleaning at CCRMC and Health Centers, and County will continue to use contractor’s services until the pandemic is over.

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. The contractor has provided services at the request of the county after the original contract payment limit had been reached. The Department cannot pay contractor for services rendered that exceed the contract limits. As such, the Department recommends that the Board authorize the Auditor-Controller to issue a one-time payment not to exceed $241,865 to Sharjo, Inc. (dba Service Master Restoration Services) for services provided for COVID-19 emergency events occurring September 1, 2020 through November 30, 2020.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
