b) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute the Agreement for Services of Independent Contractor with Jackson and Coker LocumTenens, LLC (not a local vendor) for the provision of locum tenens psychiatry services for FY 2021-2022, for a total contract maximum amount not to exceed $650,000.00 for the period of July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022;
c) Delegate to the Director of the Department of Behavioral Wellness or designee the authority to make immaterial changes to the Agreements per Section 26 of the Agreements; amend Exhibit A (Statement of Work) and Exhibit B-1 (Schedule of Fees) of the Agreement to add positions and/or approve rate changes not to exceed 10% of the rate currently stated in Exhibit B-1, subject to the procedures set forth in Exhibit B, Section 2, without returning to the Board with a separate amendment, so long as the total contract maximum is unchanged, subject to the Board’s ability to rescind this delegation at any time; and
d) Determine that the above actions are government fiscal activities or funding mechanisms, which do not involve any commitment to any specific project that may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment and are therefore not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to section 15378(b)(4) of the CEQA Guidelines.
