Common use of Direct Services Clause in Contracts

Direct Services. Direct services are specific services performed by County departments for the Commission, which include the provision of goods. The Commission shall reimburse the County on a quarterly basis for all direct services. Services shall be billed to the Commission by County Departments on "fee for service" basis or other similar arrangements. Reimbursement shall be made by a direct payment from the Children and Families Trust Fund to County departments as approved by Commission staff. The "fee for service" rates used for the departments in this contract are those contained in the Fee Ordinance as approved by the Board of Supervisors, current actual Countywide Cost Allocation Plan (COWCAP) costs, actual cost according to the rates in effect at the time the service is provided, and/or the rates derived from the annual budgets. Those services not identified in this agreement, and requested by the Commission, shall be separately negotiated and reimbursed as a direct service. These services shall be incorporated into this contract via an amendment as set forth in Section 4.3. The sections below do not represent an exhaustive list of County departments that provide services; however, these listed departments have existing direct-service relationships with the Commission.
