II . FINANCIAL IMPACT : The amount of $168 .00 has been included in the 1988-89 Fiscal Year expenditure projection for the Hospital Enterprise Fund. III . REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND: On July 29 , 1987 , the County Administrator ' s Office approved and the Purchasing Agent executed Contract #26-158 with Anthony G. Britto (dba Concord Transportation Services - Sal ' s Taxi of Martinez) for taxicab transportation services for Merrithew Memorial Hospital patients . Subsequently, the Board approved Contract Amendment Agreements #26-158-1 and #26-158-2 which extended the term of the contract from December 31 , 1987 to June 30 , 1988 , with corresponding increases in the contract payment limit . On July 26 , 1988 , the Board approved a new Contract #26-158-3 with this Contractor for fiscal year 1988-89 . During the term of the prior Contract , patient transportation services were requested as needed by County staff and provided by the Contractor in good faith. However , even though the total contract payment limit was increased from $25 ,000 to $45 ,000 , the final amount encumbered under the contract still did not cover the costs incurred. Because of administrative oversight by both the County and Anthony G. Britto (dba Concord Transportation Services - Sal ' s Taxi of Martinez) use of the taxicab service exceeded the final contract payment limit by $168.00 .
