RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract #26-745-2 with Medical Solutions, LLC, (dba Nebraska Medical Solutions), a limited liability company, in an amount not to exceed $1,600,000, to provide temporary nursing and medical staff for Contra Costa Regional Medical Center, Contra Costa Health Centers (CCRMC), and the County’s Detention Facilities, for the period from July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 100% by Hospital Enterprise Fund I. (Additional rate for Labor and Delivery Registered Nurse)

Approval of Contract #26-745-2, will allow Medical Solutions, LLC (dba Nebraska Medical Solutions) to continue to provide temporary registered nurses, and medical staff at CCRMC, and the County’s Detention Facilities, through June 30, 2016.
