DATE: November 19, 1996 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-
046-18 (as amended by Contract Amendment Agreement #26-046-19) , for
the period from October 1, 1995 through September 30, 1996, and
authorize the County Auditor-Controller to pay the $1, 664 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:
On September 12, 1996, the County Board of Supervisors approved
Standard Contract #26-046-18 (as amended by Contract Amendment
Agreement #26-046-17) with Julie O. Fulford, dba Valley Audiology, for
the period from October 1, 1995 through September 30, 1996, with a
payment limit of $43, 500, 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, 1996, charges of $45, 164 had been incurred,
of which $43 , 5,00 had been paid and $1, 664 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 audiologica_1 services
exceeded the authorized limits.
The Department is requesting that the amount due to 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 #26-046-18
(as amended by Contract Amendment Agreement #26-046-19) , and
authorizing payment of the balance.
