Title
Consider recommendations regarding a Behavioral Wellness Staffing Contract with Maxim Physicians Resource, 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 Maxim Physician Resources, LLC, dba Maxim Locum Tenens and Advanced Practitioners (not a local vendor), to add new provisions and extend the term of the Agreement into FY 2019-2020 for $365,800.00, for a new total contract amount not to exceed $731,600.00 for the period of November 6, 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, and to make other immaterial changes to the Agreements without returning to the Board with a separate amendment, so long as the total contract maximum is unchanged, and subject to the Board’s authority to rescind this 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.
