Contract 426-053-10 with Floyd L. -Smith (dba Martinez TaxiCab Company) in the
amount of $50,945 for the period July 1, 1986 - June 30, 1987 for provision of taxi

III. REASONS FOR'RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
On June 4, 1985, the Board approved Contract 426-053-7 with Floyd L. Smith
(dba Martinez TaxiCab Company) for taxi transportation for Merrithew Memorial
Hospital patients. Subsequent amendments approved by the Board increased the
contract payment limit for FY 1.985-86 to $50,945. Standard Contract 426-053-10
continues this service during FY 1986-87 at a rate of $1.60 per mile, an increase
of .30¢ per mile. The contractor has provided services at the rate of $1.30 per.
mile since July 1, 1983, but an increase in the mileage rate is required to cover
increased operating expenses and extraordinary increases in . insurance premiums.
Payment is based on a per-mile rate regardless of the number of patients
transported to a single destination at the same time in the same taxi.
The Department uses the taxi service to transport: (1) mental health patients to
court hearings; (2) patients to Merrithew Memorial Hospital for care or admission;
(3) discharged patients to their homes; (4) intoxicated patients from the emergency
room to detox centers; and (5) patients between facilities who cannot physically be
transported by minibus service.
This document has been approved by the Department's Contracts and Grants
Administrator in accordance with the guidelines approved by the Board's Order of
December 1, 1981 (Guidelines for contract preparation and processing, Health
Services Department) .
