(D) The selection process, including the number of offerors, the evaluation criteria, and the

Option year 2 of the Contract was sole sourced under 27 DCMR 4618 after several attempts

(F) The background and qualifications of the proposed contractor, including its 
organization, financial stability, personnel, and performance on past or current 
government or private sector contracts with requirements similar to those of the 
proposed contract: 
 
Amergis Healthcare Staffing Inc. (formerly know as Maxim Healthcare Staffing Services, 
Inc.) is a privately held medical staffing company headquartered in Columbia, Maryland, 
that was founded in 1988. Amergis is accredited by the Accreditation Commission for 
Health Care (ACHC) for private duty nursing and certified home healthcare programs and is 
accredited by The Joint Commission for healthcare staffing services. Amergis is committed 
to adhering to standards set forth by The Joint Commission. In keeping with this dedication 
to quality service, Amergis has adapted The Joint Commission’s standards into daily 
business practices and internal training programs.  
 
(G) The period of performance associated with the proposed change, including date as of 
which the proposed change is to be made effective:  
   	3 
October 11, 2023 to October 10, 2024, effective upon the date of Council approval, should 
Council approve of the Contract and the parties fully execute the proposed modification.  
 
(H) The value of any work or services performed pursuant to a proposed change for which 
the Council has not provided approval, disaggregated by each proposed change if 
more than one proposed change has been aggregated for Council review:  
 
The value of work performed pursuant to Proposed Modification #6 is $558,213.13 
 
(I) The aggregate dollar value of the proposed changes as compared with the amount of 
the contract as awarded:  
 
The aggregate dollar value of the proposed change as compared to the amount as awarded is 
$900,000 
 
(J) The date on which the contracting officer was notified of the proposed change:  
 
May 14, 2024 
 
(K) The reason why the proposed change was sent to Council for approval after it is 
intended to take effect: 
 
UMC submitted the initial renewal for Option Year 2 with Amergis (formerly Maxim 
Healthcare Staffing Services, Inc.) at only $500,000.00 to explore potential savings options 
for the hospital through contract	ing with other Respiratory Therapist staffing vendors. 	UMC 
added $400,000.00 to meet staffing needs, as it continued to examine whether additional 
vendors, including any CBEs, could provide this service.  Despite best efforts, UMC was 
not able to procure other supplemental respiratory therapist staffing vendors due to regional 
and national staffing demand and because the hospital will be winding-	down operations. 
Thus, UMC needed to enter into Modification #6, for an additional $900.000.00 to ensure 
nurse staffing was available for respiratory therapy services through Amergis.  
 
(L) The reason for the proposed change: 
 
See Response to K  
 
(M) The legal, regulatory, or contractual authority for the proposed change: 
 
NFPHC Contracting Authority; NFPHC Establishment Act; Home Rule Act. 
 
(N) A summary of the subcontracting plan required under section 2346 of the Small, 
Local, and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Development and Assistance Act of 
2005, as amended, D.C. Official Code § 2-	218.01 et seq . (“Act”), including a 
certification that the subcontracting plan meets the minimum requirements of the Act 
and the dollar volume of the portion of the contract to be subcontracted, expressed 
both in total dollars and as a percentage of the total contract amount: 
 
UMC has worked diligently with DC Department of Small and Local Business 
Development (DSLBD) to find local Vendors to provide these services. There wasn’t a   	4 
Certified Business Enterprise (CBE) that provides Respiratory Therapist	. There was no 
subcontracting plan due the critical need and highly specialized nature of the services to be 
provided under this proposed Contract, so a subcontracting plan and waiver were not 
obtained before the contract execution. (Per DSLBD, once a contract is exercised, a waiver 
cannot be provided).  Even though the winding down process has begun, t	he hospital 
continues to use best efforts to create and maintain opportunities for small, local, and 
disadvantaged businesses at UMC across all areas of the hospital. 
 
(O) Performance standards and the expected outcome of the proposed contract: 
 
The Contractor's performance will be monitored by the Not-for-Profit Hospital Corporation 
CEO and Vice President of Operations. The performance standards are as outlined in the 
proposed Contract and as required by applicable local, federal, industry, and licensing 
entities. 
 
(P) The amount and date of any expenditure of funds by the District pursuant to the 
contract prior to its submission to the Council for approval: 
  
The amount of funds expended under the Contract prior to submission is $1,345,705.00                
 
(Q) A certification that the proposed contract is within the appropriated budget authority 
for the agency for the fiscal year and is consistent with the financial plan and budget 
adopted in accordance with D.C. Official Code §§ 47-	392.01 and 47- 392.02: 
 
See enclosed fiscal certification from the OCFO. 
 
(R) A certification that the contract is legally sufficient, including whether the proposed 
contractor has any pending legal claims against the District: 
 
See enclosed legal certification from UMC Counsel. 
 
(S) A certification that Citywide Clean Hands database indicates that the proposed 
contractor is current with its District taxes.  If the Citywide Clean Hands Database 
indicates that the proposed contractor is not current with its District taxes, either: (1) a 
certification that the contractor has worked out and is current with a payment 
schedule approved by the District; or (2) a certification that the contractor will be 
current with its District taxes after the District recovers any outstanding debt as 
provided under D.C. Official Code § 2-353.01(b): 
 
See enclosed Clean Hands Certification. 
 
(T) A certification from the proposed contractor that it is current with its federal taxes, or 
has worked out and is current with a payment schedule approved by the federal 
government: 
 
The proposed contractor has certified its compliance. 
 
(U) The status of the proposed contractor as a certified local, small, or disadvantaged 
business enterprise as defined in the Small, Local, and Disadvantaged Business   	5 
Enterprise Development and Assistance Act of 2005, as amended, D.C. Official Code § 
2-218.01 et seq .: 
 
The Contractor is not certified as a local, small, or disadvantaged business enterprise. 
 
(V) Other aspects of the proposed contract that the Chief Procurement Officer considers 
significant: 
 
All relevant aspects of the proposed Contract are enclosed.

providing services or goods to the District or federal government, the dates of the 
debarment, and the reasons for debarment: 
 
As of August 20, 2024, the Contractor does not appear on the District or Federal Excluded 
Parties List. 
 
(X) Any determination and findings issues relating to the contract’s formation, including 
any determination and findings made under D.C. Official Code § 2-352.05 
(privatization contracts):   
                          
 None. 
 
(Y) Where the contract, and any amendments or modifications, if executed, will be made 
available online: 
 
Due the hospital’s pending closure, there will be no additional updates to the website; 
however, all contracts remain available onsite. 
  
(Z) Where the original solicitation, and any amendments or modifications, will be made

14. GENERAL COUNSEL – LEGAL SUFFICIENCY
This contract appears legally sufficient.  Please be advised that my finding is premised on the Contract receiving any and all requisite approvals.  In additions, the Hospital 
continues to work with other District agencies to determine the most effective manner for all involved to achieve their respective legislative mandates while the Hospital 
strives to meet: (i) its Establishment Act purposes (D.C Official Code §44-	95 I.02(b)): (ii) the Hospital Board of Directors approved Strategic Plan (all thirteen 
Councilmembers introduced the Sense of the Council Not-for-Profit Hospital Corporation Transformation and Sustainability Resolution of 2014 (PRO-731)), which 
expressed the desire that the Hospital move swiftly to implement the strategic plan); and (iii) its clarified District government charged legislative mandate in the Fiscal Year 
2015 Budget Support Emergency Act of 2014 (B20-	849), which required the Hospital move forward 	expeditiously with improving UMC operations and soliciting proposals 
for private sector takeover of the ownership and management of the United Medical Center.

This contract appears legally sufficient.  Please be advised that my finding is premised on the Contract receiving any and all requisite approvals.  In additions, the Hospital 
continues to work with other District agencies to determine the most effective manner for all involved to achieve their respective legislative mandates while the Hospital 
strives to meet: (i) its Establishment Act purposes (D.C Official Code §44	-95 I.02(b)): (ii) the Hospital Board of Directors approved Strategic Plan (all thirteen 
Councilmembers introduced the Sense of the Council Not-for-Profit Hospital Corporation Transformation and Sustainability Resolution of 2014 (PRO-	731)), which 
expressed the desire that the Hospital move swiftly to implement the strategic plan); and (iii) its clarified District government charged legislative mandate in the Fiscal Year 
2015 Budget Support Emergency Act of 2014 (B20-849), which required the Hospital move forward expeditiously with improving UMC operations and soliciting proposals 
for private sector takeover of the ownership and management of the United Medical Center.
