Title
Consider recommendations regarding a SHC Services, Inc., DBA Supplemental Health Care Services Agreement for Healthcare Recruitment and Placement Services, Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-2024, as follows:
a) Approve, ratify, and authorize the Chair to execute an Agreement for Services of Independent Contractor with SHC Services, Inc., DBA Supplemental Health Care (not a local vendor) for healthcare recruitment and placement services with a total maximum contract amount not to exceed $300,000.00 for the period of July 1, 2023, through June 30, 2024;
b) Determine, in accordance with Government Code Section 31000.4, that it is in the economic interest of the County to provide temporary help by the Agreement to meet the immediate clinical staffing needs of the Department of Behavioral Wellness that cannot be met through the County’s hiring process;
c) Delegate to the Director of the Department of Behavioral Wellness or designee the authority to suspend, delay, or interrupt services under the Agreement for convenience per Section 20 of the Agreement and make immaterial changes to the Agreement per Section 26, all without altering the maximum contract amount and without requiring the Board’s approval of an amendment of the Agreement, subject to the Board’s ability to rescind this delegated authority at any time; and
d) 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.
