DATE: March 13, 1990 County
SUBJECT: Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #26-109-18
with Staff Builders, 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 #26-109-18 with Staff Builders, Inc. ,
effective December 8, 1989, to amend Contract #26-109-17 (effective
July 1, 1989 - June 30, 1990) to the hourly rates set forth in the
Contract up to a maximum payment limit of $500, 000.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This contract is funded in the Health Services Department Enterprise
I Budget for 1989-90 through salary savings generated from vacant
Registered Nurse positions.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
On August 8, 1989, the Board approved Contract #26-019-17 with Staff
Builders, Inc. to provide temporary licensed nursing personnel to
assist Merrithew Memorial Hospital and Clinics during peak loads,
temporary absences and emergency situations.
During this contract term, the Department has been experiencing a
situation in which the inpatient census has risen to an historical
high. Because of budget constraints and the nationwide shortage of
nurses, the Department has had to rely heavily on nursing registries
in order to provide adequate patient care during this crisis. This
unanticipated rise in the census has also made accurate projection
of expenditures impossible.
