SUBJECT: Retroactive Payment to Nor-Cal Medical Temps
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATON(S):
Ratify purchase of services from Nor-Cal Medical Temps for the period from April 1, 2005 through March
31, 2006 and authorize the County Auditoir-Controller to pay $4,119.25 outstanding balance for temporary
pharmacist and technician services for Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa Health
Centers.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This Contract is included in the Health Services Department Enterprise I Budget. As appropriate,patients and
third party payors will be billed for services.
BACKGROUND/REASON(S) FOR RECOMMENDATION(S):
On April 5, 2005, the County Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-203-23 with Nor-Cal Medical
Temps, for the period from April 1, 2005 through March 31, 2006, in an amount not to exceed $320,000, for
the provision of temporary pharmacist and technician services for Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and
Contra Costa Health Centers.
Services were requested and provided beyond the payment limit and by the end of March 31, 2006, charges of
$324,119.25 had been incurred, of which$320,000 had been paid and$4,119.25 remains outstanding.
Temporary pharmacist and technician 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
temporary services exceeded the authorized limits.
The Department is requesting that the amount due to the Contractor be paid. This can be accomplished by the
Board of Supervisors ratifying the actions of the County employees in obtaining provision of temporary
pharmacist and technician 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, and authorizing payment of the balance.
