RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Auditor-Controller, or designee, to pay an amount of $26,440 to Total Renal Care, Inc., a corporation, for blood treatment services for inmates/patients at the Martinez Detention Facility for the months December 2019 and January 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

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

BACKGROUND:

On January 23, 2018, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-563-10 (as amended by Amendment Agreement #26-563-11) with Total Renal Care, Inc. for the provision of blood treatment services for inmates/patients at the Martinez Detention Facility, for the period from January 27, 2018 through January 26, 2020.  
  




BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Due to a vacancy in key administrative staff at the Detention Heath Unit starting late 2019, additional services were requested and the payment limit was exceeded.  
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. Total Renal Care, Inc. provided services at the request of the County after the original contract payment limit had been reached.  
  
The Department is requesting the amount due the Contractor be paid in an amount of $26,440 for services rendered December 1, 2019 through January 26, 2020.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this payment is not approved, the Contractor will not be paid for services provided in good faith.
