(F) The background and qualifications of the proposed c ontractor, 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 contrac	t: 
 
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

the proposed change is to be made effective:

Council has not provided approval, disaggregated by each proposed change if more than one

September 20, 2024 
 
(K) The reason why the proposed change was sent to Council for approval after it is intended to 
take effect: 
 
UMC submitted the Council approved initial renewal for Option Year 3 (Modification #12) with 
Amergis (formerly Maxim Healthcare Staffing Services, Inc.) at only $3,000,000.00 to explore 
potential savings options for the hospital through contracting with other Nursing staffing vendors. 
However, UMC has not able to procure other supplemental nursing 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 #13, for an additional $6,000,000.00 for Option Y	ear 3 and 
$3,200,000.00 for Option Y	ear 4 to ensure nurse staffing was available for nursing 	services through 
Amergis.

(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 	Certified Business 
Enterprise (CBE) that provides Nursing staffing. 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. 
  5

The Contractor's performance will be monitored by the Not-for-Profit Hospital Corporation

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:

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):

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.
