By: Elizabeth A. Spooner, Contracts Administrato Costa
DATE: March 13, 1990 County
SUBJECT:
Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #26-188-,2
with Vallejo Temporary Services, 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 #26-188-2 with Vallejo Temporary
Services, Inc. , effective February 1, 1990, to amend Contract #26-
188 (as amended by.Contract Amendment Agreement #26-188-1) to approve
the hourly rates set forth in the Contract up to a maximum payment
limit of $550, 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 July 11, 1989, the Board approved Contract #26-188, and on October
24, 1989 approved Contract Amendment #26-188-1, with Vallejo
Temporary Services, Inc. to provide temporary licensed nursing
personnel to assist Merrithew Memorial Hospital and Clinics during
peak loads, temporary absences and emergency situations. This
contractor provides psychiatric and perinatal nursing specialties.
During this contract term, the Department has been experiencing a
situation in which the inpatient census has risen to, and remained
at, 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.
