DISCUSSION On October 1, 2017, the City entered into agreement #A-2017-249 with NaphCare, Inc, for the provision of medical and mental health services for persons incarcerated in the Santa Ana Jail. Upon expiration of the initial two year term of this agreement on September 30, 2019, the Police Department had incurred expenses totaling $218,580 over the not to exceed limit due to higher than anticipated need for pharmaceutical services and X-ray procedures that exceeded the annual $50,000 contingency included in the agreement. Additionally, the monthly parking stipend amount was inadvertently not included in the not-to-exceed contract total amount. Three subsequent one-year extensions to this agreement were executed on October 1, 2019, October 1, 2020, and October 1, 2021 that increased the aggregate not to exceed total amount for these services to $13,400,361.15. These amendments increased the annual contingency amount to cover the pharmaceutical services, X-ray procedures, and the monthly parking. However, the imbalance from the original term of the agreement was not addressed appropriately because the Police Department did not have a mechanism to track this vendor’s payments properly. As a result, staff was unaware that there was an over-expenditure in the first agreement period and relied on the overall not to exceed amount (Exhibit 1). Through the implementation of improved budgetary and accounting practices, staff identified the net overage for the life of the agreement and all extensions as 66,772. Due to insufficient contract authority remaining on the not-to-exceed amount of Santa Ana Jail Inmate Medical Services March 7, 2023 Page 2 3 2 8 2 the agreement, the department was only able to compensate NaphCare for a portion of the services provided in September 2022, the final month of the contract. Therefore, the Police Department is requesting City Council authority to pay NaphCare, Inc. for the unpaid portion of the September 2022 invoice (#106555) in the amount of $66,772. FISCAL IMPACT Funds in the amount of $66,772 for this amendment are available in the Jail Operations, Contract Services account (no. 01114475-62300). EXHIBIT(S) 1.
