HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 04142015 - C.64RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Risk Manager to execute a contract amendment with Essential Staffing, Inc., to
increase the payment limit by $175,000 to a new payment limit of $675,000 for workers' compensation and risk
management staffing services during the term of July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The additional cost of $175,000 will be paid through the Workers' Compensation Internal Service Fund.
BACKGROUND:
Essential Staffing, Inc., provides expert temporary staff specializing in claims processing and risk management
services. Five permanent full-time positions in Risk Management are vacant. Essential Staffing has the highly
experienced staff needed to process cases in a timely manner. Additional temporary staff is needed until staff can be
hired to fill the five vacant permanent full-time positions.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the Board elects to not approve the proposed contract amendment, Risk Management would not have adequate staff
to meet the County's needs and satisfy current regulations.
