Title
Consider recommendations regarding a Behavioral Wellness Staffing Contract Renewal with LocumTenens.com LLC, Fiscal Years (FYs) 2022-2024, as follows:
a) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute a multi-year Agreement for Services of Independent Contractor with LocumTenens.com LLC (not a local vendor) for the provision of locum tenens psychiatry services for FYs 2022-2024, for a total Maximum Agreement Value not to exceed $2,400,000.00 inclusive of $1,200,000.00 per year, for the period of July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2024;
b) Delegate to the Director of the Department of Behavioral Wellness or designee the authority to suspend, delay, or interrupt the services under the Agreement for convenience per Section 20 of the Agreement and make immaterial changes to the Agreement per Section 26 of the Agreement without requiring formal amendment of the Agreement, all subject to the Board’s ability to rescind this delegated authority at any time; and
c) Determine that the above actions are government funding mechanisms or other government fiscal activities, 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.
