RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract Amendment Agreement #74-277-17 with Jackson & Coker LocumTenens, LLC, a limited liability company, effective December 1, 2016, to amend Contract #74-277-14, (as amended by Contract Amendment Agreement #74-277-15) to increase the payment limit by $70,000 from $974,400 to a new total of $1,044,400 with no change in the original term of January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Amendment is funded 100% Mental Health Realignment. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

For several years, the County has contracted with registries to provide temporary licensed personnel to assist during peak loads, temporary absences, and emergency situations.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On January 5, 2016, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74-277-14 (as amended by Contract Amendment Agreement #74-277-15) with Jackson & Coker LocumTenens, LLC, to provide temporary psychiatric 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, 2016 through December 31, 2016.

Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #74-277-17 will allow the Contractor to provide additional temporary psychiatric services, through December 31, 2016.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, the County’s Mental Health Outpatients Clinics would not have appropriate psychiatric coverage during temporary staff absences therefore patients would go untreated.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
