RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Auditor-Controller, or designee, to pay $51,096 to Cardionet, LLC, a limited liability company, for the provision of cardiac monitoring services at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and Contra Costa Health Centers for the period February 1, 2019 through October 31, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

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

BACKGROUND:

On October 23, 2018, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-784-7 with Cardionet, LLC, for the provision of cardiac monitoring services at CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers for the period from November 1, 2018 through October 31, 2019.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The Contractor provided Cardio Key services for the period February 1, 2019 through October 31, 2019 as a convenience to the patient, which exceeded the payment limit by $51,096.

Therefore, the County has determined that Cardionet, LLC is entitled to payment for the reasonable value of their 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.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this request is not approved, Cardionet, LLC will not be paid for services provided at CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers outside of the contract payment limit rendered in good faith.
