By: Elizabeth A. Spooner, Contracts Administrato Costa
DATE: September 8, 1992 00 County
SUBJECT:Approval of Contract Amendment #26-188-6 with Vallejo Temporary
Services, Inc.
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Chair to execute on behalf of the County,
Contract Amendment Agreement #26-188-6, effective August 1, 1992, to
amend Standard Contract #26-188-5 (effective June 1, 1992 through May
31, 1993) with Vallejo Temporary Services, Inc. to increase the
Contract Payment Limit by $130, 000, from $20, 000 to a new total
Payment Limit of $150, 000, and to extend the term of the Contract
through July 31, 1993 .
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This contract is included in the Health Services Department Enter-
prise I budget for FY 1992-93 , to be funded by salary savings
generated through vacant registered nurse positions.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
For several years the County has contracted with nursing registries
to provide temporary licensed nursing personnel to assist Merrithew
Memorial Hospital and Clinics during peak loads, temporary absences
and emergency situations. There is a nationwide nursing shortage,
and in spite of persistent efforts to recruit nurses for funded
Registered Nurse positions, the Department has experienced great
difficulty in filling its vacant positions. Therefore, the Depart-
ment has had to rely heavily on the registry services in order to
provide quality nursing care for patients.
The increase in the payment limit is due to increased patient
activity which the Hospital has experienced and expects to continue.
Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #26-188-6 will allow the
Contractor to provide additional nursing services through July 31,
1993 .
