| BACKGROUND: |
Escambia County entered into an agreement with Veolia Transportation Services, Inc., on August 19, 2004, for Escambia Area Transit Management Services. On September 1, 2011, the Board extended the Agreement with Veolia Transportation Services, Inc., through March 31, 2012.
In June 2012, Escambia County received two invoices from Veolia Transportation Services, Inc., in the amount of $42,019.53, for alleged services rendered during the time of the contract. There was much concern that the invoices were not valid and did not have any supporting documentation. In July 2012, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) notified Veolia that the invoices would not be paid. In August 2012, Veolia again requested payment. OMB requested support documentation, which the County did receive in October 2012. In February 2013, the Traffic Division finalized communications with OMB, Public Works Accounting, and Escambia County Area Transit, and did establish the validity of the invoices. All documents have been verified by staff and are within the contract period.
Because these invoices cross fiscal years and will be paid in the current fiscal year, Board approval is required to process the payments. |
