RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract Amendment Agreement #74-277-24 with Jackson & Coker Locumtenens, LLC, a limited liability company, effective October 1, 2021, to amend Contract #74-277-23, to increase the payment limit by $220,000, from $1,218,336 to a new payment limit of $1,438,336, with no change in the original term of January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021 for additional psychiatric services required to fulfill additional temporary staffing needs.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this amendment will result in additional annual expenditures of up to $220,000 and will be funded as budgeted by 100% Mental Health Realignment.

BACKGROUND:

The County’s Behavioral Health Services Division/Mental Health has an obligation to provide psychiatric physician services to patients, including medication management and therapy services. Therefore, the County contracts with temporary help firms to ensure patient care is provided during peak loads, temporary absences, vacations or emergency situations when full staffing is required. This contractor has been providing temporary help services since July 1, 2006.

On January 19, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74-277-23 with Jackson & Coker Locumtenens, LLC, in an amount not to exceed $1,218,336, for the provision of temporary psychiatric medical doctors and recruitment services at the County’s Mental Health Outpatient Clinics, for the period from January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021.

Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #74-277-24 will allow the contractor to provide additional temporary psychiatric medical services and recruitment services through December 31, 2021.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, this contractor will not be able to provide additional psychiatric medical doctors and recruitment services for the County’s Mental Health Outpatient Clinics.
