RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Auditor-Controller, or designee, to pay Garland/DBS, Inc., in the amount of $787,991.20 for roofing maintenance services provided to the Public Works Department during the period July 1, 2018 through March 31, 2019, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% General Funds.

BACKGROUND:

Garland/DBS, Inc. provided roofing maintenance services for Public Works on the County buildings located at 50 Douglas Drive and 2425 Bisso Lane.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The contract with Garland/DBS, Inc. has expired and it 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 person has been asked to provide services without a valid contract, and the provider does so to the benefit of the recipient, the provider is entitled to recover the reasonable value of those services. Therefore, Public Works is legally obligated to reimburse Garland/DBS, Inc. for the reasonable value of the services it provided.

Since Garland/DBS, Inc. performed services at the request of Public Works and with the full expectation and understanding that it would receive payment for those services, Public Works recommends that the Board authorize the Auditor-Controller to issue a payment in the amount of $787,991.20.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The service provider will not be paid for services rendered to Public Works.
