RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract #26-347-31 with Cross Country Staffing, Inc., a corporation, in an amount not to exceed $5,000,000, to provide temporary medical and specialty staffing services at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Centers (CCRMC), 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 April 26, 2016, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-347-27 (as amended by Amendment Agreements #26-347-28 and #26-347-29), with Cross Country Staffing, Inc., for the provision of temporary medical staffing services including registered nursing, Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) nursing, therapy, radiology, and pharmacy services at CCRMC for the period from July 1, 2016 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 classifications represented by Teamsters.

Approval of Contract #26-347-31 will allow Contractor to continue providing temporary medical and specialty staffing services not represented by Teamsters Local 856 classifications through June 30, 2018.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, patients requiring medical services at CCRMC will not have access to Contractor’s services.
