SUBJECT: Retroactive Payment to Medical Doctor Associates,Inc. C . O
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION(S):
RATIFY purchase of services from Medical Doctor Associates, Inc.., a corporation, and
AUTHORIZE the Auditor-Controller to pay $14,570 outstanding balance for the provision of
temporary Physicians (Psychiatrist) for conservatorship hearings for the Mental Health Division, for
the period from April 1, 2005 through March 31,2006.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This Contract was 100%funded by Mental Health Realignment.
BACKGROUND/REASON(S)FOR RECOMMENDATION(S):
In April 2005 the County Administrator approved and the Purchasing Services Manager executed
Contract #74-169-3 (as amended by Contract Amendment Agreement #74-169-4) with Medical
Doctor Associates, Inc for the period from April 1, 2005 through March 31, 2006, to provide
evaluation and expert witness testimony services for County referred-conservatees, including
reviewing of psychiatric records, consulting with treating psychiatrist and all relevant professionals,,
and testifying in Superior Court and jury trials as an Expert Witness.
Services were requested and provided beyond the payment limit and by the end of the end of March
31, 2006, charges of $53,070 had been incurred, of which $38,500 had been paid and $14,570
remains outstanding.
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 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.
