RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Auditor-Controller, to pay $16,465.69 to Concord Yellow Cab, Inc. for non-emergency transportation services to County clients and patients with HIV disease for services rendered to Contra Costa County residents for services provided between November 1, 2017 through February 28, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract is funded by 100% State funds.

BACKGROUND:

In July 2017, County Administrator approved and Purchasing Services manager executed Contract #72-100 (as amended by Contract Amendment Agreement #72-100-1) with Concord Yellow Cab, Inc., to provide non-emergency transportation services for County residents with HIV disease. On July 26, 2017, Public Health Clinic Services requested a reallocation of $16,465.69 for medical appointments, mental health appointments, wellness and prenatal checkup, for non-emergency transportation services to County clients and patients with HIV disease additional transportation services were requested by County and provided by the contractor in good faith.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

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 $16,465.69 to Concord Yellow Cab, Inc. for services provided between November 1, 2017 through February 28, 2018.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this Board Order is not approved, the contractor will not be paid for services requested by County staff and provided by the contractor.
