Subject:Payments for Services Provided by Bay Area Tumor Institute
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
is nonetheless entitled to payment for the reasonable value of its 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. Because the Health Services Department requested additional services from Bay Area Tumor Institute, and
the contractor provided the services in good faith, with the full expectation and understanding that it would receive
payment for those services, the contractor has the right to claim the reasonable value of the services provided above
the contract limit. As such, the Department recommends that the Board authorize the Auditor-Controller to issue a
one-time payment to Bay Area Tumor Institute in the amount of $64,402.47.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The service provider will not be paid for services rendered to the Health Services Department.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not applicable.
