FROM: Mark -Finucane, Health Services Director Contra
Costa
DATE: January 12, 1995 County
SUBJECT: Retroactive Payment to Julie O. Fulford dba Valley Audiology
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Ratify purchase of services from Julie O. Fulford, dba Valley
Audiology, in excess of the payment limit of Standard Contract #26-
046-15, for the period from October 1, 1993 through September 30,
1994 , and authorize the County Auditor-Controller to pay the $2, 335
outstanding balance for said services.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This contract is included in the Department Enterprise I budget. As
appropriate, patients and/or third-party payors are billed for
services.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
In August, 1993 , the County Administrator's Office approved and the
Purchasing Services Manager executed on behalf of the County, Standard
Contract #26-046-15 with Julie 0. Fulford, dba Valley Audiology, for
the period from October 1, 1993 through September 30, 1994 , with a
payment limit of $25, 000, to provide audiological services for Medi-
Cal recipients and County Health Plan members. Services were
requested and provided by the Contractor beyond the payment limit and
by the end of September, 1994, charges of $27, 335 had been incurred,
of which $251000 had been paid and $2 , 335 remains outstanding.
Audiological 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 audiological services
exceeded the authorized limits.
The Department is requesting that the amount due Julie O. Fulford, dba
Valley Audiology, be paid. This can be accomplished by the Board of
Supervisors ratifying the actions of the County employees in obtaining
provision of audiological 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 under Standard Contract #26-046-15, and
authorizing payment of the balance.
