Contra Costa DATE: July 30, 1996 County SUBJECT: Retroactive Payment to TMP Worldwide SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION I. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Ratify purchase of services from TMP Worldwide (formerly: Garcia Advertising and Communications) for the period from July 1, 1995 through June 30, 1996, and authorize the County Auditor-Controller to pay the $12, 321.19 outstanding balance for employee recruitment advertising services for the Health Services Department. II. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Funding for this Contract is included in the Health Services Department budget. III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND: On July 11, 1995, the County Board of Supervisors approved Standard Contract #23-162 with Garcia Advertising and Communication (now: TMP Worldwide) , for the period from July 1, 1995 through June 30, 1996, with a payment limit of $100, 000, to provide advertising services for recruitment of qualified individuals for the Health Services Department's vacant positions, particularly in the area of direct patient care. Services were requested and provided beyond the payment limit and by the end of June, 1996, charges of $112 , 321. 19 had been incurred, of which $100, 000 had been paid and $12, 321. 19 remains outstanding. Advertising services were both requested by County staff and provided by the Contractor in good faith. Because of administrative oversight by both the County and Contractor, use of the Contractor's services exceeded the authorized limits. The Department is requesting that the amount due to the Contractor be paid. This can be accomplished by the Board of Supervisors ratifying the actions of the County employees in obtaining provision of advertising services of a value in excess of the contract payment limit. This will create a valid obligation on the part of the County, retroactively authorizing all payments made by the Auditor-Controller up to now, and authorizing payment of the balance.
