RECOMMENDED ACTION
Direct the City Attorney to prepare and authorize the City Manager and the
Clerk of the Council to execute a one-year agreement, with two one-year
renewal options, with Correctional Managed Care Medical Corporation to
provide on-site inmate medical care for the Santa Ana Jail in an amount not
to exceed $967,784.
DISCOSSION
In September 1998, the City Council approved a three-year agreement with
two one-year extension options with Correctional Managed Care Medical
Corporation (CMCMC) to provide on-site medical care for Santa Ana Jail
inmates. The agreement provides on-site medical staff 24 hours a day, in
addition to a doctor on call. CMCMC conducts daily sick calls, dispenses
medication, as well as assists in the intake of incoming inmates to assess
for entrance acceptability. Addi tional services such as dental care,
radiology, ophthalmology, OB/Gyn, psychiatric crisis intervention and
emergency medical billing services are also included. These medical
services are required and governed by State law, under the California
Department of Corrections Title 15 requirements.
Over the past few years, the agreement has been amended on an annual basis.
The Santa Ana Jail initiated a Request For Proposal process in June 2001
and CMCMC was the only qualified vendor to submit a proposal. Most other
jails in Southern California have in-house medical staff to provide these
services. Madera County, CA is the only other jurisdiction to contract out
for inmate medical services within the past year. Their recent bidding
process resulted in CMCMC as the only qualified vendor.

The agreement amount shall not exceed $967,784 for the first year and
$1,036,406 for the second year and $1,110,518 for the third year, if the
renewal options are exercised. The Santa Ana Jail is very pleased with the
services that CMCMC has provided for the past seven years and recommends
entering into this agreement. Their understanding of the jail operations
and the contracting housing agencies has resulted in an excellent level of
service.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds in the amount of $806,487 for the first ten months of the agreement
are available in the Police Department, Jail Contractual Services Account
(account no. 011-349-6291). Funds in the amount of $161,297 for the last
two months of the agreement will be included in the FY 05-06 budget.
