FROM: By : Elizabeth A. Spooner , Contracts Administrato
Costa
DATE: October 16, 1989 County
SUBJECT: Retroactive Payment to CuraCare
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I . RECOMMENDED ACTION :
Ratify purchase of services from CuraCare in excess of the
payment limit of Contract #26-177 (as amended by Contract
Amendment Agreement 426-177-1 ) for services provided prior to
August 31 , 1989 and authorize the County Auditor-Controller to
pay the outstanding balance , not' to exceed $6 ,000 for said
services .
II . FINANCIAL IMPACT :
The twelve-month payment limit of Contract 426-177 (effective
September 1 , 1988 through August 31 , 1989 ) , as amended by Contract
Amendment Agreement 426-177-1 , was $40 ,000 . Approval of this
Board order will increase the Contract Payment Limit to $46 ,000 .
Funding for this additional payment was considered by the Health
Services Department and is included in the Department ' s current
Fiscal Year Budget .
III . REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND :
In September 1988 , the County Administrator approved , and the
Purchasing Agent executed , Contract 426-177 with CuraCare ,
effective September 1 , 1988 through August 31 , 1989 , for pro-
vision of ultrasound diagnostic testing and interpretation
services for patients at Merrithew Memorial Hospital . On May 2,
1989 , the Board approved Contract Amendment Agreement #26-177-1
which increased the payment limit of Contract #26-177 from
$15 , 000 to $40 , 000 .
During the term of the contract , ultrasound services were
requested as needed by County staff and provided by the
Contractor in good faith . Because of administrative oversight
by both the County and CuraCare , use of these services exceeded
the final contract payment limit by $6 , 000 .
The Health Services Department is requesting that the amount due
CuraCare be paid . This can be accomplished by the Board of
Supervisors ratifying the actions of County employees ' in
obtaining provision of ultrasound services of a value in excess
of the contract payment limit . This will create a valid obliga-
tion on the part of the County , retroactively authorizing all
payments made by the Auditor-Controller up to now, and
authorizing payment of the balance .
