RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract #26-644-12 with MGA Healthcare, Inc., a corporation, in an amount not to exceed $1,000,000, to provide temporary pharmacists, pharmacy technicians and permanent placement recruitment services at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Centers (CCRMC), for the period from January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 100% by Enterprise Fund I. Includes rates for permanent placement services, and decreased rates for Pharmacists and Pharmacy Technicians. All other rates remain the same.

BACKGROUND:

On January 7, 2014, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-644-11 with MGA Healthcare, Inc. for the period from January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014, for the provision of temporary pharmacy staff at CCRMC to provide coverage during peak loads, temporary absences and emergencies. Approval of Contract #26-644-12 will allow the Contractor to continue providing temporary pharmacists, pharmacy technician services, including the addition of permanent placement recruitment services at CCRMC, through December 31, 2015.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, patients requiring professional pharmacists and pharmacy technician services at CCRMC will not have access to Contractor’s services, which may result in a reduction in the level of services to the community.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
