SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I . RECOMMENDED ACTION :
Approve and authorize the Chairman to execute on behalf of the
County, Novation Contract 426-010-26 with United Council of
Spanish Speaking Organizations , Inc . in the amount of $56 , 923
for the period July 1 , 1987 - June 30 , 1988 for fixed route bus

Pittsburg and Richmond and Merrithew Memorial Hospital . This
document also includes transportation services , effective
March 1 , 1988 , for patients participating in the PreNatal
Patient Tour Program.
II . FINANCIAL IMPACT :
This contract is fully funded in the Health Services Department
Budget for 1987-88 .
III . REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND :
On August 26 , 1986 , the Board approved Contract 426-010-23 with
United Council of Spanish Speaking Organizations , Inc. for con-
tinuation of transportation services between County Outpatient
Clinics in Pittsburg and Richmond and Merrithew Memorial
Hospital with a payment limit of $40 , 013 for FY 86-87 .
Subsequent amendments extending the contract through March 31 ,
1988 were approved by the Board on June 9 , 1987 and October 13 ,
1987 , increasing the contract payment limit to $90 ,875 .
Novation Contract 426-010-26 replaces the prior amendments ,
continues services through June 30, 1988 , and includes transpor-
tation services for patients participating in the PreNatal
Patient Tour Program effective March 1 , 1988 .
The PreNatal Patient Tour Program was set up to familiarize pre-
natal patients from outlying clinic sites with Merrithew
Memorial Hospital ' s birthing center . Merrithew expects that
these tours will increase use of the birthing center for deli-
veries , resulting in greater revenues from these services .
Continuity of patient care is increased when outlying clinic
patients give birth at Merrithew. In many instances , our
present prenatal patients deliver at hospitals which do not have
the medical information for the patients . Our system is better
able to handle patients with whom we have experience .
