By: Jacqueline Pigg, Contracts Administrator F
DATE: April 11, 2006 County
SUBJECT: Retroactive Payment to Staff Care, Inc.
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATON(S):
Ratify purchase of services from Staff Care, Inc. for the period from January 1, 2003 through December 31,
2005 and authorize the County Auditor-Controller to pay $36,820 outstanding balance for temporary
physician services for Contra Costa Regional Medical Center.
FISCAL 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.
BACKGROUND/REASON(S) FOR RECOMMENDATION(S):
On December 17, 2002, the County Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-294-8 (as amended by
subsequent Amendment Agreements#26-294-9 through#26-294-13)with Staff Care, Inc, for the period from
January 1, 2003 through December 31, 2005, in the amount of$1,675,000, 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 December 31, 2005,
charges of $1,711,820 had been incurred, of which $1,675,000 had been paid and $36,820 remains
outstanding.
Temporary Physician services were bothrequested by County staff and provided by the Contractor in good
faith. Because of 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.
