Title
Consider recommendations regarding a First Amendment to the Staffing Contract with Jackson and Coker LocumTenens, LLC, Fiscal Year (FY) 2018-2019 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 Jackson and Coker LocumTenens, LLC (not a local vendor), to add two hourly positions for a Nurse Practitioner and Physician’s Assistant, and to extend the term of the Agreement into FY 2019-2020 for $1,000,000.00, for a total contract maximum amount not to exceed $2,000,000.00 for the period of July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2020;
b) Approve and authorize the Behavioral Wellness Director to amend the Exhibit A (Statement of Work) and Exhibit B-1 (Schedule of Rates) to add hourly positions and approve rate changes not exceeding 10% of the rate currently 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 and to make immaterial changes to the First Amendment to the Agreement for Services of Independent Contractor in accordance with Section 25 of the Agreement, subject to the Board’s ability to rescind this delegated authority 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.
