TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS _
FROM: Mark Finucane, Health Services Director k ` intra
By: Elizabeth A. Spooner, Contracts Administrator CQSta
DATE: April 29, 1993 County
SUBJECT: Retroactive Payment to Professional Health Care Providers, Inc.
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Ratify purchase of services and payment to Professional Health Care
Providers, Inc. (formerly: Physical Therapy Network, Inc. ) , in excess
of the payment limit of Standard Contract #26-193-2, effective
February 1, 1992 through February 1, 1993 , and authorize the County
Auditor-Controller to pay the outstanding balance, not to exceed
$5, 000.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This contract is included in the Health Department's Enterprise I
budget and is funded by salary savings generated through vacant
therapist positions.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
In March, 1992, the County Administrator's Office approved and the
Purchasing Agent executed on behalf of the County, Standard Agreement
#26-193-2 with Professional Health Care Providers, Inc. (formerly:
Physical Therapy Network, Inc. ) , to provide temporary licensed medical
personnel to assist Merrithew Memorial Hospital and Clinics during
peak loads, temporary absences and emergency situations.
During the term of the Contract, temporary therapists were requested
as needed by County staff and provided by the Contractor in good
faith. Because of administrative oversight by both the County and
Contractor, use of the services exceeded the contract payment limit of
$24, 500 by $5, 000.
The Department is requesting that the $5, 000 due the Contractor be
paid. This can be accomplished by the Board ratifying the actions of
the Department in approving payment to the Contractor 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 #26-193-2, and
authorizing payment of the $5, 000 balance.
