SUBJECT: Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #26-168-2 County
with Western Medical Personnel, Inc.
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Chairman to execute on behalf of the
County, Contract Amendment Agreement #26-168-2 effective June 5, 1989
with Western Medical Personnel, Inc. (dba Pulmonary Technicians
Services) to amend Contract #26-168-2 (effective February 1, 1989)
to provide for an increased level of respiratory therapist registry
services at Merrithew Memorial Hospital and Clinics. This amendment
increases the payment limit of the contract by $50, 000, from $25, 000
to a new total payment limit of $75, 000.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This contract is included in the Health Services Department
Enterprise I budget for FY 1988-89 through salary savings generated
from vacant Respiratory Therapist positions.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
On February 6, 1989 the County Administrator' s Office approved and
the Purchasing Agent executed Contract #26-168-1 with Western Medical
Personnel, Inc. (dba Pulmonary Technicians Services) for temporary
licensed respiratory therapist personnel to assist Merrithew Memorial
Hospital and Clinics during peak loads, temporary absences and
emergency situations.
Contract Amendment Agreement #26-168-2 is required to supplement the
respiratory therapist services which are exceeding the original
estimates due to unfilled vacant funded positions. There is a
shortage of respiratory therapists and recruitment is a problem.
This document has been approved by the Department's Contracts
and Grants Administrator in accordance with the guidelines
approved by the Board's Order of December 1, 1981 (Guidelines
for contract preparation and processing, Health Services
Department) .
