Title
Consider recommendations regarding Behavioral Wellness Staffing Contract - Barton and Associates, Inc. Fiscal Year (FY) 2018-2019 First Amendment and extension into FY 2019-2020, as follows:
a) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute a First Amendment to the Agreement for Services of Independent Contractor with Barton and Associates, Inc., a Delaware corporation, d.b.a. Barton Medical, Inc. (not a local vendor), for the provision of locum tenens psychiatry, nursing, and physician assistant services to add new provisions, increase the Agreement by $770,000.00 for FY 2018-2019, and extend the term of the Agreement into FY 2019-2020 for $2,019,800.00 for a total contract maximum not to exceed $4,289,800.00 for the period of July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2020;
b) Approve and authorize the Behavioral Wellness Director to amend Exhibit A (Statement of Work) and Exhibit B-1 (Schedule of Fees) of the Agreement for Services of Independent Contractor with Barton and Associates, Inc. to approve rate changes not to exceed 10% of the rate currently in Exhibit B-1, subject to the procedures set forth in Exhibit B, Section 2, and to make other immaterial changes to the Agreement, without returning to the Board with a separate amendment, so long as the total contract maximum is unchanged and subject to the Board’s ability to rescind delegation at any time; and
c) Determine that the above actions are government fiscal activities or funding mechanisms which do not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in potentially 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.
