RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract #26-306-22 with Per Diem Staffing Systems, Inc., a corporation, in an amount not to exceed $250,000, to provide professional temporary respiratory therapist services at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Centers (CCRMC), for the period from February 1, 2014 through January 31, 2015.

FISCAL IMPACT:

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

BACKGROUND:

On February 12, 2013, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-306-21 with Per Diem Staffing Systems, Inc., for the period from February 1, 2013 through January 31, 2014, for the provision of professional temporary respiratory therapist services to cover employee sick leaves, vacations and workers compensation leaves, at CCRMC.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The Division is requesting an effective date of February 1, 2014 to allow no disruption in services due to a delay in contractual negotiations.

Approval of Contract #26-306-22 will allow the Contractor to continue providing professional temporary respiratory therapist services through January 31, 2015.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, patients requiring professional respiratory therapist services at CCRMC will not have access to Contractor’s services, which may result in a reduction in the levels of service to the community.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
