RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Auditor-Controller, to pay $143,099 to Sharjo, Inc. (dba Service Master Restoration Services), a corporation, for providing emergency restoration services to resolve emergency events requiring immediate assistance at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC), for the periods June 11, 2019 through June 13, 2019 and October 28, 2019 through November 8, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

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

BACKGROUND:

In November 2018, the County Administrator approved and the Purchasing Services Manager executed Contract #76-624 with Sharjo, Inc. (dba Service Master Restoration Services), to provide emergency restoration services to resolve emergency events requiring immediate assistance at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and Contra Costa Health Centers for the period December 1, 2018 through November 30, 2019.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The Contractor met the Contract payment limit of $99,000 and due to unforeseen emergency events occurring during the contract term additional services were required in the amount of $143,099. The total billed for the contract term period of December 1, 2018 through November 30, 2019 was $242,099, exceeding the contract payment limit by $143,099. 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 $143,099 to Sharjo, Inc. (dba Service Master Restoration Services) for services provided for emergency events occurring June 11, 2019 through June 13, 2019 and October 28, 2019 through November 8, 2019.

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 Contractor.
