DATE: June 4, 2008 County
SUBJECT: Approval of Contract#26-327-19 with On Assignment Staffing Services, Inc.
4001
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND JUSTIFICATION `
RECOMMENDATION(S):
Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee (Jeff Smith, M.D.), to
execute on behalf of the County, Contract #26-327-19 with On Assignment Staffing Services,
Inc., a corporation, in an amount not to exceed $2,285,000, to provide temporary nursing staff,
therapists, admitting professionals and other technical services for Contra Costa Regional Medical
Center and Contra Costa Health Centers, for the period from June 1, 2008 through May 31, 2009.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funding for this contract is 100% Enterprise Fund I.
BACKGROUND/REASON(S) FOR RECOMMENDATION(S):
The County has contracted for many years with registries to provide temporary help services to
assist Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Centers during peak loads,
temporary absences, and emergency situations. For example, given the uncertainty of the
duration of Worker's compensation/leaves of absence, the use of registries allows the Department
to obtain temporary registry help on short notice, and only until the employee is able to return to
work. Other usage is to cover nights and weekend shifts in Admissions, which have historically
been difficult to fill on a permanent basis, although efforts continue.
I On June 5, 2007, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-327-15 (as amended by
Amendment Agreement #26-327-16 through #26-327-18) with On Assignment Staffing Services,
I Inc. for the provision of temporary nursing services, therapists, admitting professionals and other
technical services to provide coverage at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa
Health Centers, for the period from June 1, 2007 throu�ggh( May 31, 2008.
