Summary: Staff is requesting an increase in the purchase order for the contract between Mt. Diablo Unified School District (MDUSD) and Maxim Healthcare Services, Non Public Agency (NPA) for the 2013-2014 school year. The Board approved the Master Contract of Maxim Healthcare Services last August 28, 2013 for $169,000.00 for special education services for the school year 2013-2014. The NPA contract needs to be increased by $312,216.29 bringing the Special Education portion of the contract to a total of $481,216.29.
Since the purchase order request was initiated in August, additional students were added to the caseload while other students’ medical needs increased. Currently, this contract covers the nursing needs for students who are receiving services at different schools, three of which are county schools. The health conditions and needs of these students include: Muscular Dystrophy, Seizures, Mitochondrial Defect and Tube Feedings.
Some of the placements require nurses to ride the bus with the students, increasing the hours of service. These nurses also provide support to our medically fragile students when they participate in after school activities and school dances.
Student Services also utilizes Maxim to serve students on 504 plans.
Funding: Program Code #3122 (Special Education IDEA)
Fiscal Impact The total impact is $481,216.29 and is already a budgeted expense in the 2013-2014 school year.
Recommendation: Approve the increase with Maxim Healthcare.
