Common use of CONTRACTING PROCESS Clause in Contracts

CONTRACTING PROCESS. Given the nature and scope of the services provided by USC under the Agreement, as well as the historic and longstanding relationship between the County and USC, the Department determined that it was not feasible to competitively bid this contract. County Counsel has advised that the portion of the MSAA related to academic services are not subject to the provisions of County Code Chapter 2.121, Contracting with Private Business (Proposition A). Furthermore, the services provided under the agreements for specialty care and pacemaker monitoring surveillance services are part-time and intermittent, and therefore, not subject to Proposition A requirements. As such, these services can be consolidated under the MSAA for LAC+USC MC, while specialty care can be consolidated under a single agreement for RLANRC.
