To: Board of Supervisors
From: Anna Roth, Health Services Director
Report Title: Payment for Products and Services Provided by WASH Multifamily Acquisition Inc. dba WASH Multifamily Laundry Systems, LLC
☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Auditor-Controller, or designee, to pay an amount not to exceed $5,641 to WASH Multifamily Acquisition Inc. dba WASH Multifamily Laundry Systems, LLC for laundry machine rentals during the period of June 1, 2024 through September 30, 2024, as recommended by the Health Services Director.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of this action will result in a one-time payment of up to $5,641 and will be funded entirely by Mental Health Services Act funds allocated to county homeless shelters.
BACKGROUND:
The Health, Housing, and Homeless Services Division of Contra Costa Health entered into a sixty (60) months term vendor agreement with Wash Multifamily Acquisition Inc. for the rental of laundry machines at four (4) homeless shelters in November 2021. The purchase order for the laundry machine rentals expired before the term of the vendor agreement, requiring a re-negotiation of terms and conditions which has caused a delay in the payment of monthly rental invoices.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to approve this item would cause undue hardship to the vulnerable population residing at these locations as the laundry machines require servicing and the vendor may discontinue servicing the laundry machines until the outstanding invoices are paid.
