RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Auditor-Controller, or his designee, to pay $9,168 to Applied Remedial Services, Inc., for the provision of removal and disposal of hazardous waste and chemical services for the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Centers (CCRMC) during the period of September 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract is funded 100% 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 and Contra Costa Health Centers (CCRMC) for several years. On January 14, 2014, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-692-6 (as amended by Amendment Agreement #26-692-8) with Applied Remedial Services, Inc., for the period from January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015, for the provision of removal and disposal of hazardous waste and chemical services for CCRMC.

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 $9,168. 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 due the Contractor be paid in the amount owing of $9,168. The contract renewal for 2016 is currently in place.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, Contractor will not be paid for hazardous waste removal and disposal services provided to County in good faith.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
