Subject:Correct item #C.23 with Financial Marketing Concepts, Inc. Contract #29-787 for County-wide Pharmacy
Discount Prescription Card
BACKGROUND:
On January 26, 2010, the Board of Supervisors approved the implementation of a Pharmacy
Discount Prescription Card Program available to all Contra Costas County residents and
allowed the County Health Services Department to execute a contract with Financial
Marketing Concepts, Inc., to pay the County an amount not to exceed $500,000, for the
period from January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010.
Due to an administrative oversight, the contract term did not reflect the intent of the parties,
to allow the term to be automatically renewed every year through December 31, 2017,
unless County or Contractor terminates with thirty (30) days written notice.
The purpose of this board order is to correct the term and therefore allow the Contractor to
continue to provide the County-wide Pharmacy Discount Prescription Program.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not approved, the County uninsured residents will not be able to
participate in the benefits of the County-wide Pharmacy Discount Prescription Program.
