RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract Extension Agreement #74-486-3 with NMRR, Inc. (dba Brightstar Healthcare), a corporation, effective February 1, 2016, to amend Contract #74-486-1, to increase the payment limit by $88,994, from $94,330 to a new payment limit of $183,324, and extend the term from August 31, 2016 to a new termination date of September 30, 2016.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 100% County General Fund. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

In October 2015, the County Administrator approved and the Purchasing Services Manager executed Contract #74-486-1, with NMRR Inc. (dba Brightstar Healthcare), for the provision of temporary nursing staff to care for a client with multiple and severe disabilities for day to day assistance and physical maintenance for the period from October 1, 2015 through August 31, 2016. The Division has been unable to locate appropriate, permanent placement for this client and is requesting an increase in contract payment limit and extension of the contract term to continue to care for this client until permanent placement can be located. Approval of Contract Amendment/Extension Agreement # 74-486-3 will allow the Contractor to continue providing temporary nursing care through September 30, 2016.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this Amendment/Extension is not approved, Contractor will not continue to provide services.
