By: Elizabeth A. Spooner, Contracts Administrat Costa
DATE: October 24, 1990 County
SUBJECT: Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #26-194-1
with Melinda Hom for Physical Therapy Services
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his
designee, to execute on behalf of the County, Contract Amendment
Agreement #26-194-1 with Melinda Hom, effective October 1, 1990 to
increase the Contract payment limit by $24,500 from $24,500 to a
new total payment limit of $49, 000. There is no change in the
contract term (February 1, 1990 through January 31, 1991) . This
contractor provides physical therapy services at Merrithew Memorial
Hospital and Clinics.
SII. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This contract is included in the Health Services Department
Enterprise I budget for FY 1990-91 through salary savings generated
from vacant Physical Therapist positions.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
On December 20, 1989 the County Administrator's Office approved and
the Purchasing Agent executed Contract #26-194 with Melinda Hom for
physical therapy services to assist Merrithew Memorial Hospital and
Clinics during peak loads, temporary absences and emergency
situations.
The need for physical therapy services by County's patients in the
Outpatient Clinics has increased beyond anticipated levels and
Contract Amendment Agreement #26-194-1 is needed to increase the
contract payment limit to provide additional hours of therapy
services, as requested by the County, through January 31, 1991.
The Department is experiencing ongoing difficulty in recruiting
physical therapists to fill vacant therapist positions and there is
currently a national shortage of physical therapists.
