RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract Amendment/Extension Agreement #23-531-13 with Nordic Consulting Partners, Inc., a corporation, effective April 27, 2021, to amend Contract #23-531-12, to increase the payment limit by $6,000,000, from $11,000,000, to a new payment limit of $17,000,000, and to extend the termination date from December 31, 2021 to December 31, 2022, for additional consultation and technical assistance for the Health Services Department’s Information Systems Unit.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This amendment will increase contractual expenditures by $6,000,000 during fiscal years 2021/22 and 2022/23 and will be funded by 100% Hospital Enterprise Fund I revenues. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

This contract meets the needs of the Health Services Department’s Information Systems Unit by providing consultation and technical assistance in support of the ccLink Electronic Health Record System including system optimization, information security, training, and application support. This support is imperative to improving the unit’s business performance and strategy. This vendor has been contracting with the Health Services Department’s Information Systems Unit since 2012.

On January 7, 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved contract #23-531-12, with Nordic Consulting Partners, Inc. for the provision of consultation and technical assistance in the amount of $11,000,000, for the period from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2021. This work includes future project based needs to implement the CalAIM waiver for Medi-Cal, additional build in ccLink to support new programs in public health and care coordination, business intelligence analysts to create, modify, and release new data analytics reports, and for project management support needs.

Approval of Contract Amendment/Extension Agreement #23-531-13 will allow this contractor to continue providing consulting services for ccLink including consultation, technical support, system optimization, information security, training and application support through December 31, 2022.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the Department will not have access to this contractor’s expert consultation and technical assistance in support of ccLink.
