RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract #26-745-8 with Medical Solutions, LLC, a limited liability company, in an amount not to exceed $2,700,000, to provide temporary registry services by medical staff at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center, Health Centers (CCRMC), and the County’s Detention Facilities, for the period from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract is funded 100% Hospital Enterprise Fund I. (Rate Increase)

BACKGROUND:

On May 10, 2016 the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-745-6 (as amended by Amendment Agreement #26-745-7) with Medical Solutions LLC (dba Nebraska Medical Solutions Staffing, LLC), to provide temporary registered nurses, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants to provide coverage during peak workloads, temporary absences and emergency situations at CCRMC, and the County’s Detention Facilities, through June 30, 2017.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Due to previous and ongoing Union negotiations the Department is splitting Teamsters Local 856 classifications and non-Teamster classifications into two different contracts. This contract request does not include Teamster represented classifications.

Approval of Contract #26-745-8, will allow Medical Solutions, LLC to continue to provide temporary registered nurses, and medical staff at CCRMC, and the County’s Detention Facilities, through June 30, 2018.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, patients at CCRMC and the County's Main Detention Facility would not have access to Contractor’s services.
