RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #74-277-26 with Jackson & Coker Locumtenens, LLC, a limited liability company, which does not include indemnification, in an amount not to exceed $1,438,336 to provide psychiatrists for temporary work and recruitment services at the County’s Mental Health Outpatient Clinics, for the period from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this contract will result in annual contractual service expenditures of up to $1,438,336 and will be funded 100% by Mental Health Realignment funds. (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

The County’s Behavioral Health Services Division has an obligation to provide psychiatric physician services to patients. 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 psychiatric physician services since January 1, 2007.  




BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
  
On December 7, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74-277-25 with Jackson & Coker Locumtenens, LLC, in the amount of $1,438,336 to provide psychiatrists for temporary work and recruitment services at the County’s Mental Health Outpatient Clinics, to cover vacations, sick and extended leaves and emergency situations, for the period from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022.  
  
Approval of Contract #74-277-26 will allow the contractor to continue providing psychiatrists for temporary work and recruitment services through December 31, 2023. Paragraph 18 (Indemnification), of the County's standard form contract's General Conditions is deleted in its entirety.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the County’s mental health outpatient clinics will not have access to this contractor’s services and the County’s caseload may increase for current County psychiatric staff already seeking caseload relief.
