STAFFING
A.

The negotiated staffmg plans for the Institutions are attached hereto as
Attachment III. In addition to the. staffing plans, the base staffmg plans,
attached hereto as Attached III-A, will serve as the basis for determining
liquidated damages. At the end of each monthly reconciliation period,
liquidated damages shall be assessed by DOC for the Contractor's
failure, if any, to provide health service workers in accordance with the
base staffmg plans of Attachment III-A. It shall be the duty of the
Contractor to promptly supply poe within twenty (20)calendar days
after the end of each monthly reconciliation period, with all information
deemed necessary by DOC to determine whether liquidated damages
should be assessed. Furthermore, DOC shall have the right to inspect the
Contractor's records, as it deems necessary, to ascertain and/or verifY
data. Once DOC has requested additional information, there will be
seven calendar days to submit the requested information. At the end of
the seven calendar day reconciliation period, deliberation is over and the
DOC may continue its collection of liquidated damages.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event PHS continues to dispute the
liquidated damages, the parties shall follow the procedure for disputes
specified in Attachment II Section J. The DOC may, however, proceed
with the deduction of liquidated damages as the parties settle the dispute.
The Contractor shall provide an automated time and attendance system to
document the actual arrival/departure times of its staff at each Institution.
1.

It is the duty of the Contractor to manage its workforce so that
there is sufficient staffing on each and every shift at each
Institution in order to assure the delivery of both routine and
emergency health care services to all inmates at all times. The
following specific rules apply with respect to primary care
physicians.

At each Institution, at least one primary care physician must be
present for duty during the day shift each weekday, except
holidays, weekends, or two continuous days of absence (e.g.
training, sick time) from the Institution when no primary care
physicians need be present, but at least one must be on call per
Institution and readily available for emergencies.

11

2.

With respect to nursing, the minimum permissible nursing staff
for each shift on weekdays, weekends and holidays is· shown on
Attachment III to this Memorandum of Understanding. These
minimum staffing levels of nurses and nursing assistants shall be
referred to as "Base Staffing" (Attachment III). Liquidated
damages for failure to maintain base staffmg at all times shall be
assessed in the following manner.
a.

B.

Beginning on May 1, 2006, if the Contractor fails to
maintain the base staffing level of Registered Nurses,
Licensed Practical Nurses and/or nursing assistants on
any shift, then liquidated damages will be assessed for
that shift at that fustitution by multiplying the number of
hours short in that particular category of employee (i.e.,
RN, LPN, etc.) times the dollar rate per hour shown in
Attachment IV. Monthly aging of these categories of
employees is explained in Attachment IV.

3.

RN's may be substituted for LPN's and LPN's may be
substituted for certified nursing assistants to avoid a shortfall in
staffing, but certified nursing assistants cannot be substituted for
LPN's or RN's and LPN's cannot be substituted for RN's.

4.

Health services workers employed by the Contractor at one of
the Institutions may not be used at another facility as substitute
workers unless they are working overtime in addition to their
regular work at the facility to which they are assigned.

5.

Health services worker hours may be covered by use of overtime
work, by use of qualified Contractor staff or by the use of
"locum tenens" health services workers. Any "locum tenens"
health services worker or any other health services worker not
regularly assigned to a facility must have a satisfactory DOC
background investigation completed prior to being allowed into
the Institution just the same as any permanent employee. . If
approved by the appropriate Deputy Director or his designee, the
applicant may be hired on a probationary basis pending the
completion of a favorable VCIN/NCIC and DMV check. A
background investigation will then be made and a report
provided. The Contractor will communicate to all new
e,mployees that their continued employment at any DOC site is
contingent upon successful completion of the complete
background check.

Liquidated damages for failure to staff in accordance with the base
staffing levels of Attachment III-A may be determined by the DOC and
withheld from payments due to the Contractor in accordance with the
procedure described in Section III. A. above. To the extent that
liquidated damages exceed the payments due to the Contractor, if ever,

12

1238

the Contractor shall make payment to the DOC within thirty days after
receiving the DOC's invoice.

N.

RISKIREWARD SHARING POOLS
A.

Off-Site Medical Services Pool: Due to the uncertainty of future health
care cost trends, an "Off-Site Medical Services Pool" has been
incorporated into the contract pricing. For the purposes of this contract,
"off-site medical services" are defined as only telemedicine
consultations, inpatient hospitalization, outpatient hospital care and
physician or other health care provided by some entity other than PHS
away from the DOC fustitutions and billed through the DOC third party
administrator.
Annually, a computation of off-site medical costs will be performed by
comparing the total medical expenditures paid by the DOC third party
administrator on behalf of the contractor during the contract year to the
Off-Site Medical Services Pool dollar amount for the comparable period.
See Attachment V for illustration of annual settlement computation.
Based on the variance between actual off-site medical costs incurred and
the Medical Services Pool amounts (determined by multiplying the
Medical Services Pool Per fumate amount times the actual ADP for the
contract period), PHS will be paid for additional costs incurred, or the
DOC will be reimbursed for savings achieved according to the settlement
computations shown on Attachment V.

B.

Staffing Pools: Based on the staffing costs, a "Staffing Pool" has been
developed to provide a risk/reward cost sharing relationship between the
DOCandPHS.
Annually, a reconciliation of the total actual staffmg costs (computed by
totaling the actual payroll dollars plus benefit costs computed at 22% of
payroll dollars plus all on-site contract physician and agency nursing
costs) will be performed utilizing pay period reports comparing the total
actual staffing costs. Within 180 days of the end of each contract year
(90 days for PHS to send pay period reports to DOC and then 90 days for
DOC to verify PHS staffmg costs), a reconciliation and settlement will
be done. The DOC and PHS will share costs equally up to 10% in excess
or 10% below the staffing pool dollar amount. Costs incurred which
exceed 10% of the staffing pool dollars will be reimbursed to PHS by the

13
1238

DOC. All savings below 10% of the staffing pool dollars will go to the
DOC. See Attachment VI for illustration of annual settlement.

Termination for Breach by the Contractor: In the event of breach
of the contract by PHS, the DOC may elect to send the President
ofPHS a Cure Notice, specifying the nature of the breach and
giving PHS a specific period of time in which to cure the breach.
The time period to cure the breach shall be not exceed thirty (30)
days from the date of receipt of the Cure Notice by PHS or ifthe
breach is of such nature as cannot be completely remedied within
said thirty (30) day time period, then PHS shall have commenced

1239

request from the DOC a reasonable extension to complete the
Cure. Any extension of the Cure period shall be subject to DOC
approval and shall be confirmed in writing (request from PHS in
writing and approval from the DOC in writing). If the DOC
elects to give PHS a cure notice and PHS fails to cure the breach
to the reasonable satisfaction of the DOC after the Cure Notice
time period, the President of PHS shall be notified of termination
for breach by a written Termination Notice, which may specify
that the contract is terminated immediately, as of a specific date,
or in stages. In the event a court of competent jurisdiction or any
other method of conflict resolution adopted by the parties
determines that PHS did not, in fact, breach the contract, the
termination shall be deemed to have been a termination by the
DOC for the convenience of the Commonwealth, except that no
prior notification or other procedures required herein for
termination for the convenience of the Commonwealth shall be
required.
A provision of twenty-five percent (25%) retainage of the annual
value of the contract is owed to the DOC by the Contractor if the
Contractor defaults or breaches the Contract.
Notwithstanding any other Contract provision to the contrary, if
the Contractor shall have refused to perform the Contract or shall
have otherwise defaulted and failed to cure the default within the
Cure Notice time period and/or, if there are unpaid providers of
materials and/or labor at the time the Contract ends or is
breached by the Contractor, and the Contractor has failed to cure
within the Cure Notice time period then the DOC shall have the
right to retain from any amounts due to the Contractor the sum of
the twenty-five percent (25%) annual value of the Contract. The
DOC shall have the right to use said retained money to pay any
providers of materials and/or labor for the materials and/or labor
provided; to reimburse itself for all reasonable costs to itself, if
any, arising from the Contractor's breach; and to reimburse itself
for any money, which may be owed to it by the Contractor. Use
of said money for said purposes shall not release the Contractor
from liability for damages or any money owed in excess of the
amount retained and used for said purposes. The DOC shall
account to the Contractor for all such money retained and the
manner of its disposal. All such money not paid out for the
allowed purposes shall be paid to the Contractor. The DOC's
right to reimburse suppliers of material and labor shall not
constitute an obligation to do so, nor shall the DOC's decision to
pay the remaining monies over to the Contractor constitute a
guarantee that any or all such suppliers have been paid. The
right to retain such sums from monies due to the Contractor and
to utilize them in the manner described in this paragraph shall be
in addition to and not in lieu of any other rights, which the DOC
may have under the terms of this Contract and in law and at
equity. The DOC may exercise the rights granted it in this

16

1239

paragraph without reducing its claims against the Contractor to
judgment and may pay suppliers of materials and labor without

judgment prior to payment by the DOC.

contract by the DOC, PHS may elect to send the DOC a Cure
Notice, specifying the nature of the breach and giving DOC a
specific period of time, not less than 30 days, in which to cure
the breach. If PHS elects to give the DOC a cure notice and the
DOC fails to cure the breach to the satisfaction of PHS, the DOC
shall be notified of termination for breach by a written
Termination Notice, which may specify that the contract is
terminated immediately or as of a specific date.

3.

Termination Due to Unavailability of Funds: The DOC shall
request an appropriation from the General Assembly of Virginia
sufficient to funds its needs, including but not limited to the
funding of this contract. Nevertheless, the payment of money by
the DOC under any provision of this Contract is contingent upon
the availability of funds appropriated by the General Assembly
of Virginia. In the event that sufficient funds for this contract
become unavailable due to non-appropriation or an insufficient
appropriation to the DOC to cover all of its monetary needs, the
DOC shall promptly notify the Contractor of such
nonappropriation or insufficient appropriation and the DOC shall
have the right to terminate this Contract without payment of
damages as of the date upon which, in the judgment of the DOC,
sufficient funds will no longer be available. Ifterminated under
this provision, the Contractor shall not be entitled to lost profits
or any other type of damages, except that it shall be paid for all
amounts then due under the terms of this Contract, if any, and

of this Contract for services actually rendered subsequent to
Notice ofTermination. -

DOC may terminate this Contract in whole or in part whenever,
for any reason, the Department determines that it is in the best
interest of the DOC, an agency of the Commonwealth of
Virginia, to do so. The DOC shall give PHS written Notice of
Termination at least sixty (60) days prior to termination date,
specifying the extent and effective date(s) of the termination or
termination by stages. Upon termination for the convenience of

the DOC, which notice shall be effective upon receipt. Although
the Contractor may not terminate the Contract under this
provision with respect to the first two contract years, the
Contractor may give notice at any time during the first two years
with respect to any of the subsequent years.

6.

Contractor's Duties in Event of Termination: In the event of
termination, whether because the term of the Contract has ended,
because of breach by the Contractor, because of breach by the
DOC, because of lack of funding, or because of termination for
the convenience of the Commonwealth, the Contractor shall
cooperate with the DOC in the transition to the follow-on health
services provider, whether it be another company or the DOC
itself. During the transition it shall be the duty of the Contractor:
a.

to continue providing health·services to the inmates in
all Institutions until such duties are actually taken over
by the successor health services provider, so that at no
time are the inmates in the Institutions served by PHS
without health services;

b.

to coordinate the transition with the successor health
services provider and to fully inform the successor
health services provider about the medical conditions of
all inmate patients;

c.

to preserve and turn over to the DOC all records of any
type, whether electronic or paper, which are maintained
by the Contractor with respect to the performance of the
Contract, including, but not limited to, inmate medical
records and PHS employee records;

all property belonging to DOC, including, but not
limited to, computers and office furniture;

to preserve, inventory, account for and tum over to the

at the Institutions or in shipment to the Institutions; and,

f.

to allow the successor health services provider timely
access to PHS's employees at the Institutions to

18

1239

interview them and to offer any or all of them future
employment.

The DOC's Duties in Event of Termination: In the event of
termination, whether because the term of the Contract has ended,
because of breach by the Contractor, because ofbreach by the
DOC, because of lack of funding, or because of termination for
the convenience of the Commonwealth, the DOC shall facilitate
the Contractor's transition out of service and shall require the
successor health services provider, whether it be another
company or the DOC, to interview and offer continuing
employment to as many of the Contractor's willing employees at
each Institution as the successor health services provider deems
suitable and needed in its operations.

8.

Payments upon Termination: ill the event of termination,
whether because the term of the Contract has ended, because of
breach by the Contractor, because of breach by the DOC,
because of lack of funding, or because of termination for the
convenience of the Commonwealth, the DOC shall promptly pay
the Contractor all amounts due to it in accordance with the
normal schedule for monthly payment, subject to withholding
any amounts in dispute, any liquidated damages, or any amounts
(per VI, B.l.) which the Contractor may owe to the DOC. The
DOC may also withhold amounts which it deems sufficient to
offset any amounts which its Third Party Administrator may
have paid, or will pay, on behalf of the Contractor, any
anticipated liquidated damages, or any other amounts which it
believes the Contractor owes or will owe to the DOC, and, when
it has ascertained to its satisfaction the amounts owed to it by the
Contractor, it may offset the amounts owed to it against the
amounts which it owes to the Contractor and shall pay the
remainder to the Contractor with a full accounting of the
amounts owed and the amounts offset.
The third party administration accounting withhold will be
calculated by multiplying 110% by the total of 25% of the latest
twelve (12) months Third Party Administrator charges related to
the contracted facility, adjusted for the estimated Staffing Pool
and Of-Site Medical Services Pool settlements. Final settlement
of any amounts withheld will be based on the date on which no
Third Party Administrator charges paid subsequent to the
termination date of the contract are made for two (2) successive
months or eighteen (18) months, whichever is sooner. PHS shall
be paid interest on the average outstanding balance of any
amount withheld by the DOC at a rate determined by the Prime
Interest Rate as published in the Wall Street Journal on the date
on which the contract terminates, plus 2.0%.
Should the contract be terminated as of a date other than the end
of a contract year, the annual Staffing Pool and Off-Site Medical

19

Service Pool baseline amounts will be pro-rated for the number
of days during which the contract was in force during the year,
calculated using a formula based on a thirty (30) day month and
three hundred sixty (360) day contract year.
C.

VII.

The assessment and collection of liquidated damages for PHS's failure to
staff or failure to meet standards is not an exclusive remedy and shall not
preclude the DOC from terminating the Contract in whole or in part,
because of such failures.

FEE STRUCTURE
A.

The basic fees for services provided by PHS at each Institution which it
serves shall be calculated by determining the Average Daily Population
(ADP) for that Institution during the month in question, using the
·
Institution's headcount plus any assigned to the Institution who are
receiving medical care elsewhere and are still the responsibility of PHS
and adding together the monthly costs of medical, dental and mental
health services shown for that ADP on the Pricing Schedule for that
Institution, as listed on Attachment VI. Attachment VI includes Pricing
Schedules for Greensville Correctional Center, Greensville Work Center,
Powhatan Correctional Center, Fluvanna Correctional Center, and
Sussex I State Prison and Sussex II State Prison.

B.

The Average Daily Population (ADP) used for calculating the fee for
service will be calculated by adding the official DOC Institutional daily
inmate count for each day during the month in question at the Institution
in question, plus the number of inmate/days for inmates admitted to
hospitals from that Institution during that month, divided by the number
of days in that particular month.

C.

PHS shall invoice for services rendered during the course of each
calendar month within 5 work days after the end of each calendar month.
DOC shall pay all undisputed amounts fot services rendered during each
calendar month within 30 days after receipt of the PHS invoice, less any
offsets as described above herein.

Narrative ofhow to compute the# of hours to be allocated to each Agmg Category:
As a general rule, the aging of deficient hours for any contract period be performed as follows:
1.

Shift the hours per each Aging Category of the prior contract period' s aging
analysis to the next older Aging Category.
If the total# of hours deficient in the current contract period is
a.
greater than the total # of deficient hours per the previous contract
period, enter the additional hours in the Period #1 Aging Category.

2.

b.

If the total# of hours deficient in the current contract period is less than
the total # of deficient hours per the previous contract period, deduct
the # of hours reduced from the left to right commending with Aging
Category Period #2.

May,2006

The first month that any deficiency exists, the total # of hours deficient is to be
allocated to Period #1.

June, 2006

Since the total of 17 hours deficient in the June, 2006 period exceeds the total #
of 10 hours deficient in the May, 2006 contract period, the aging should be
performed as follows: Shift the 10 hours classified in Period #1 on the May,
2006 aging to the next Aging Category to the right (Period #2) and insert the
increase in the# of hours deficient in the Period #1 Aging Category.

July, 2006

Because the 32 hours deficient in July, 2006 is greater than the total17 hours
deficient in the June, 2006 contract period, the aging should be developed by
shifting the hours aged in June, 2006 to the next Aging Category to the right,
and assigning the additional hours to the Period #l Aging Category.

August, 2006

In order to age the 23 hours delinquent in August, 2006, shift the hours aged in
April, 2004 to the next Aging Category to the right, and deduct any reduction in
delinquent hours from the Aging Categories starting at the left (Period #2,

38

1241

Period #3, etc.) until the total# of hours reduced from the April, 2004 contract
period have been allocated.
September, 2006

In August, 2006 the total # of deficient decreased to an amount less than any
previous period. This aging should be performed utilizing the same method as
for July, 2006. The July, 2006 aging should be shifted to the next older Aging
Category, and the# of hours reduced from the July, 2006 contract period should
be deducted from the# of hours assigned to each Aging Category starting at the
left, until the total# of hours reduced from the July, 2006 contract period have
been allocated.

Development of Aging Analysis and Computation of Liquidated Damages
1. D.evelop the aging analysis, by position type and the number of hours deficient (see
previous page) in each position type.
2. Multiply the number of hours deficient, by position type, times the "Hourly Liquidated
Damages Rate" (above) for each aging category.
3. Multiply the dollar amount of liquidated damages computed through step #2 above
times the following rates for each successive aging category:
