SUBJECT: Retroactive Payment to Longs Drug Stores California, Inc.
SPECIFIC REQUESTS) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Ratify purchase of services from Longs Drug Stores California, Inc.
for the period from October 1, 1995 through September 30, 1996, and
authorize the County Auditor-Controller to pay the outstanding balance
of $30, 000 for pharmaceutical services.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This Contract is funded 100% by the State Department of Health
Services, Office of AIDS. No County funds are required.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS BACKGROUND:
On October 17, 1995, the County Board of Supervisors approved Standard
Contract #22-489-1 Longs Drug Stores California Inc. , for the period
from October 1, 1995 through September 30, 1996, in the amount of
$100, 000, for the provision of pharmaceutical services for the
County's AIDS Drug Program. Services were requested and provided
beyond the payment limit and by the end of September, 1996, charges of
$130, 000 had been incurred, of which $100, 000 had been paid and
$30, 000 remains outstanding.
Pharmaceutical services were both requested bye County staff and
provided by Longs Drug Store California, Inc. in good faith. Because
of administrative oversight by both the County and Contractor, use of
pharmaceutical services exceeded the authorized limits.
The Department is requesting that the amount due Longs Drug Store
California, Inc. be paid. This can be accomplished by the Board of
Supervisors ratifying the actions of the County employees in obtaining
provision of pharmaceutical 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, and authorizing payment of the balance.
