RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract Amendment Agreement #23-457-16 with Health Care Interpreter Network, a non-profit corporation, effective July 1, 2018, to amend Contract #23-457-13 (as amended by Amendment Agreement #23-457-15), to increase the payment limit by $778,560, from $400,000 to a new payment limit of $1,178,560 and to modify the quarterly payment for translation services, with no change in the term of July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This amendment is funded 100% by Hospital Enterprise Fund I. (Rate increase)

FISCAL IMPACT: (CONT'D)

BACKGROUND:

On June 6, 2017, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #23-457-13, as amended by Amendment #23-457-15, with Health Care Interpreter Network for the provision of consultation and technical assistance with regard to the Healthcare Interpreter Network System including, providing qualified foreign language and sign language interpretation services via video conferencing, for the period from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2019. This contract includes mutual indemnification to hold harmless both parties for any claims arising out of the performance of this Contract.

Due to an increased demand for translation services by the Health Services Department, and to include Muir Orthopedics Services sites, an increase in the quarterly contractor's management and oversight services' fee is necessary. Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #23-457-16 will allow the Contractor to provide additional translation services through June 30, 2019.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, County will not receive additional translation services from this contractor.
