RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract Amendment Agreement #26-378-7 with Concord Yellow Cab, Inc., a corporation, effective July 1, 2015, to amend Contract #26-378-5 (as amended by Amendment Agreement #26-378-6), to modify the Fee/Rate Schedule to include wheelchair van transportation fees with no change in the contract payment limit $575,000 and no change in the original term of August 1, 2014 through June 30, 2016.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This amendment is funded 100% Hospital Enterprise Fund I. (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

On July 2, 2015, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-378-5 (as amended by Amendment Agreement #26-378-6) with Concord Yellow Cab, Inc., for the provision of transportation services for patients unable to transport themselves to receive medical services due to disabilities or other medical conditions for the period from August 1, 2014 through June 30, 2016. In the original contract, the rate schedule included a “wheelchair” rate for $3.00 per trip for folding a wheelchair into a cab. Through inadvertence, the rate schedule did not include a “wheelchair van” rate of $70.00 per trip, which covers transporting patients that must be transported by a specially equipped wheelchair transport van. The Contractor agreed to waive reimbursement for the wheelchair van charges from August 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015 if the Division will pay charges from July 1, 2015 forward, totaling $11,700, and amend the contract to include this wheelchair van rate through June 30, 2016.

Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #26-378-7 will allow County to amend the rate schedule to include wheelchair van transportation services and to pay Contractor for wheelchair van transportation services invoiced and not reimbursed for the period July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, Contractor will not be paid for wheelchair van transportation services provided to County in good faith and Contractor will not provide these services in the future.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
