By: Elizabeth A. Spooner, Contracts Administrator Costa
DATE: August 20, 1992 County
SUBJECT: Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #26-214-3 with � ��!
Therapy Connection, 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 #26-214-3, effective July 15, 1992, to
amend Standard Contract #26-214-1 (as amended by Contract Amendment
Agreement #26-214-2) , effective November 1, 1991 through October 31,
1992 , with Therapy Connection, Inc. , for provision of physical and
occupational therapy services at Merrithew Memorial Hospital and
Clinics. This Contract Amendment Agreement will increase the contract
payment limit by $35, 000, from $50, 000 to a new total payment limit of
$85,000.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This Contract is included in the Health Services Department Enterprise
I budget for FY 1991-92 , and is included in the Department's projec-
tions for FY 1992-93, to be funded by salary savings generated through
vacant physical/occupational therapy positions, which the Department
has been unable to fill due to a nationwide shortage of qualified
physical and occupational therapists. Approval of this Contract
Amendment will result in a payment limit increase of $35, 000, from
$50, 000 to a new total payment limit of $85, 000.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
On November 18, 1991, the County Administrator's Office approved and
the Purchasing Agent executed Contract #26-214-1 (as amended by
Contract Amendment Agreement #26-214-2) with Therapy Connection, Inc. ,
for physical/occupational therapy services at Merrithew Memorial
Hospital and Clinics. The Department continues to be unable to fill
vacant physical and occupational therapy positions, and has had to rely
heavily on registry therapists, when they are available.
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 #26-214-3 will allow the Contractor to '
continue providing therapy services through October 31, 1992 .
