RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Auditor-Controller, or designee, to pay up to $36,085 to Henry Schein, Inc. for dental supplies provided to Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) for the period August 3, 2021 through December 1, 2021.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this action will result in a one-time expenditure not to exceed $36,085. This is 100% budgeted in the Hospital Enterprise Fund I.

BACKGROUND:

The dental clinics use Henry Schein Dental products due to their extensive product catalog, competitive prices, excellent customer service and innovative value-added solutions. Additionally, Henry Schein provides their customers with a dental resource center which provides continuing education training to satisfy OSHA training requirements, and current trends in dentistry through their comprehensive video library.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The costs of additional dental supplies and equipment were not closely tracked, and the available Purchase Order limit was depleted by the time CCRMC received the invoices from the vendor. Due to this oversight the vendor was not paid by CCRMC for supplies provided in good faith. Therefore, CCRMC has determined that Henry Schein is entitled to payment for the value of supplies and equipment provided under the equitable relief theory of quantum meruit. The theory provides that when a vendor has been asked to provide products or services without a valid purchase order, and the vendor does so to the benefit of the recipient, the vendor is entitled to recover the reasonable value of those products or services.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, Henry Schein, Inc. will not be paid for supplies and equipment provided in good faith by the vendor.
