RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract Amendment Agreement #23-611-1 with Artedis Partners, LLC., a limited liability company, effective April 1, 2019, to amend Contract #23-611 to increase the payment limit by $430,000, from $160,000 to a new payment limit of $590,000, with no change in the term of January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is entirely funded by Hospital Enterprise Fund I. (No rate increase)

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

BACKGROUND:

On February 7, 2017, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #23-611 with Artedis Partners, LLC., for consultation and technical assistance with regard to the Department’s Information Systems Unit security and compliance with Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) including meeting Federal, State, Local and Industry Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI-DSS) assessments and audits, for the period from January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2019.

Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #23-611-1 will allow the Contractor to provide additional consultation and technical assistance for the Health Services Department’s Information Systems Unit through December 31, 2019.

Due to an oversight by the monitoring department, the payment limit of Contract #23-611 was insufficient to cover payments in year two of the three-year term. Increasing the payment limit under this Contract Amendment will ensure enough funds to cover the remainder of the contract term.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: (CONT'D)

If this contract amendment agreement is not approved, the Department’s Information Systems Unit would be more at risk of not meeting Federal, State, Local and Industry security standards.
