RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract #26-306-24 with Per Diem Staffing Systems, Inc., a corporation, in an amount not to exceed $1,000,000, to provide temporary respiratory therapists, nursing services and a host of additional classifications at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Centers (CCRMC), for the period from February 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 100% by Enterprise Fund I. (Classifications include rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

On February 25, 2014 the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-306-22 (as amended by Amendment Agreement #26-306-23) with Per Diem Staffing Systems, Inc., for the period from February 1, 2014 through January 31, 2015, for the provision of professional temporary respiratory therapists, nursing services and a host of classifications to cover employee sick leaves, vacations and workers compensation leaves, at CCRMC. Approval of Contract #26-306-24 will allow the Contractor to continue providing professional temporary services through June 30, 2016.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, patients requiring respiratory therapists, nursing and additional medical personnel 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.
