SUBJECT:
Retroactive Payment to Vista Staffing Solutions,Inc.
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
i
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
I .
Ratify purchase of services from Vista Staffing Solutions, Inc. for the period from October 1, 2003
through September 30, 2005 and authorize the County Auditor-Controller to pay $112,002.70
outstanding balance for temporary physician services for Contra Costa Regional Medical Center.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This Contract is included in the Health Services Department Enterprise I Budget. As appropriate,
patients and third party payors will be billed for services.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/RACKGROUND:
On October 7, 2003, the County Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-305-10 (as amended
by subsequent Amendment�Agreements #26-305-I1 through #26-305-14) with Vista Staffing
Solutions, Inc, for the period,from October 1, 2003 through September 30, 2005, in the amount of
$1,136,000, for the provision of temporary physician services for Contra Costa Regional Medical
Center.
Services were requested and provided beyond the payment limit and by the end of September 30,
2005, charges of $1,248,002.70 had been incurred, of which $1,136,000 had been paid and
$112,002.70 remains outstanding.
Temporary Physician services were both requested by County staff and provided by the Contractor
in good faith. Because of I administrative oversight by both the County and Contractor, use of
temporary physician services exceeded the authorized limits.
i
The Department is requesting that the amount due to the Contractor be paid. This can be
accomplished by the Board of Supervisors ratifying the actions of the County employees in
obtaining provision of temporary physician services of a value in excess of the contract payment
limit. This will create a valid obligation on the part of the County retroactively authorizing all
payments made by the Auditor-Controller up to now, and authorizing payment of the balance.
