Information

Agenda Item Text:

Approve Professional Services Agreement (PSA) No. 12-21-HEA-03 with Copper Queen Community Hospital for Jail and Juvenile Detainee Hospital Services for the Cochise County Health Department in the estimated amount of $200,000 for the period of August 1, 2012 through July 31, 2013.

Background:

The purpose of this PSA is to provide in-patient and out-patient services as required for jail and juvenile inmates. Copper Queen Community Hospital is the only hospital in Cochise County that can meet the requirements for these services because of the proximity to the jail and the need for a secured area for the inmate. Currently, EMT service is required to transport inmates to the closest hospital, which is the Copper Queen Community Hospital in Bisbee.

Therefore, a Request for Proposals would result in a sole bid and a decision was made to negotiate a sole source PSA with Copper Queen Community Hospital. Payment for services shall reflect AHCCS billing charges for all U.S Citizens and a discount of 45% of billed charges for all non-citizens.

Department's Next Steps (if approved):

Execute the Professional Services Agreement, monitor contract performance.

Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:

Procurement would have to use Copper Queen Community Hospital without a PSA at a much higher cost.

To BOS Staff: Document Disposition/Follow-Up:

Contracts will be hand carried to Katie Howard.
