BOARD ORDER
Contract Amendment Agreement #26-023-35

III . REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
For many years , the County has maintained a contractual rela-
tionship with the Martinez Veterans Administration Medical
Center which has made available to the County specialized medi-
cal services not otherwise available , due to lack of resources ,
equipment , and personnel for these services , at Merrithew
Memorial Hospital and Clinics . At present time the Veterans
Administration is providing nuclear medicine studies , spe-
cialized laboratory tests , and dermatology services .
The contract documents have always been prepared by the Veterans
Administration . The Martinez Veterans Administration Medical
Center has authority to initiate amendment agreements while
approval for the contracts must come from Washington, D. C.
In December 1987 , Veterans Administration staff inadvertently
forwarded an unauthorized contract document to the County for
execution . This document was approved by the Board on
January 12 , 1988 . The Department is requesting that the Board ' s
Order of that date be rescinded , and that Amendment Agreement
#26-023-35, extending the prior Contract for ninety days , be
approved , pending receipt of a renewal Contract from the
Veterans Administration .
