RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract #26-306-21 with Per Diem Staffing Systems, Inc., a corporation, in an amount not to exceed $365,000, to provide temporary respiratory therapist services at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Centers, for the period from February 1, 2013 through January 31, 2014.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 100% by Enterprise Fund I. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

On May 3, 2011, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-306-19 (as amended by Contract Amendment Agreement 26-306-20) with Per Diem Staffing Systems, Inc., for the period from February 1, 2012 through January 31, 2013, for the provision of temporary respiratory therapist services to cover employee sick leaves, vacations and workers compensation leaves, at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Centers.
Approval of Contract #26-306-21 will allow the Contractor to continue providing temporary respiratory therapist services through January 31, 2014.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, Contra Costa Regional Medical and Contra Costa Health Centers would not have appropriate respiratory therapists to provide coverage during temporary staff absences, therefore patients would go untreated.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
