Dear Commissioner DiMaria:

Maxim Staffing Solutions:

with CARF Accreditation
The bids were reviewed in response to the contract requirements. I recommend Sound
Counseling, the low bidder, be awarded the bid as submitted without accreditation. This
recommendation is based not only as Sound Counseling as the low bidder, but on the three
year positive track record Sound Counseling has earned providing therapeutic services to the
delinquent youth receiving long term family orientated counseling at the Macomb County
venile Justice Center.

with over eight years of successful service provision is in place for all eligible Next Step
Program graduates.
Since 2008 Sound Counseling has also provided counseling treatment in the other
program units. Working with administration we have identified program deficiencies and
implemented changes to correct them. For example to rcduce recidivism in deJjnquent
unit's an after care program was fonned to ensure positive outcomes by supporting
residents in their re-entry into the community. Another example when substance abuse
was identified in youth returning to thc facility didactic substance abuse classes were
added to the counseling programs for those youth identified with substance abuse issues.
Current counselors at the JJC have all been trained by Sound Counseling's co-owners
and experienced employees. All our counselors are Masters level or above and are
supervised by a PhD. Our expertise is group-counseling. substance abuse treatment,
sexual offender rehabilitation and delinquent behavior reduction.
All counseling staff have experience in and are familiar with JJC policies safety
procedures. Sound Counseling is also available for Pro bono JJC staff in-service
trainings. On sight Supervision is provided along with 24 hour availability for supervisory
supports. Team meeting are held a minimum of once per week with oversight provided
by Dr. Conrad Aumann Ph.D.
Sound Counseling has provided advanced training in group techniques to JJC staff at no
cost to Macomb County. Further Sound Counseling has trained teachers assigned to the
Justice Center how to effectively interact with at risk youth.
During business hours Sound Counseling always has a supervisor/co-owner on duty to
deal with emergencies as they happen. As a small Macomb County based company,

Maxim understands that in order to provide high quality and dedicated services, we must
employ the most experienced professionals in the healthcare industry, and that we must treat
our employees with the utmost respect and compensate them appropriately. We provide our
employees with competitive wages based on the local marketplace's living wage standards and
the national Consumer Price Index. We also cover our employees' general and professional
liability, malpractice, and unemployment insurance, as well as pay all local, state, and federal
taxes. For full-time employees working more than 30 hours per week, Maxim also offers an
aggressive benefits package that includes medical, dental, vision, and life insurance.
Maxim prides itself on delivering exceptional, cost-efficient healthcare services. Our proposed

References
Maxim Healthcare Services understands the nature and scope of the services requested by the
County and has the commensurate experience to provide the highest level of service and
satisfaction. With more than 21 years of medical staffing experience, Maxim has partnered with
numerous organizations in both the public and private sector to provide excellent staffing
solutions. We are nationally recognized as an exceptional provider and our performance record
demonstrates the requisite capability to satisfy the reqUirements for services at the County.
The success behind the evolution of Maxim's growth from small business status to large
business enterprise is because of our demand for self-excellence in recruitment, retention, and
customer service performance. As reflected within our references, Maxim has successfully
executed contracts which are similar in size and scope. Additionally, we believe our delivery in
the placement of experienced healthcare personnel is a direct reflection on our reputation and
quality of service. Therefore, our performance under this award will be both honorable and
outstanding to ensure the ongoing trust of our clients. The following references demonstrate
similar staffing services provided to local entities.

..
Comply with clinical standards of care.
With more than 360 branches across the country including the Detroit office which has been in
operation since 2003 and employing close to 1,000 Recruiters, Maxim is in an excellent position
to collectively assemble the necessary resources and talent to address the County's staffing
challenges. Maxim's corporate headquarters provides the back office support services such as
billing, payroll, legal, and accounting functions, for our branch offices.
Quality Assurance Practices
Maxim strives to present only qualified and experienced medical professionals to our valued
clients. Our candidates undergo stringent prescreening processes before they are accepted as
employees. We believe our healthcare professionals are a direct reflection of our reputation
and the level of service and quality we provide. The candidates we select to provide the County
with services will have completed the following processes at a minimum.
Screening Criteria

Completed Application/Interview
Ucense/certification Verification

Candidates for employment also complete a series of competency asessments according to
discipline and specialty. Their personnel record includes their personal Skills Checklist that
identifies their levels of proficiency and knowledge with the position's responsibilities.
Licensure and Certification Verification Procedure
Maxim verifies the credentials and licenses of employees upon hire and thereafter on a
monthly basis. We document the expiration dates of each license and certificates in our
internal database. The database automatically alerts our staff when an employee's license is
due to expire. We then notify the employee regarding their license. If an employee fails to
return the updated information prior to the end of the month of expiration, Maxim changes the
employee's status to inactive. Employees with expired licenses or certifications are not eligible
to provide healthcare services to our clients.

HIPAA Compliance
Like any healthcare provider, the County is concerned about the privacy rights of its patients.
Maxim is fully compliant and strictly abides by the rules and regulations of the Health
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996, as codified at 42 U.S.c. § 1320d
through d-8. In instances where Maxim receives protected health information (PHI) from the
County, we will comply with the applicable provisions of the Administrative simplification
section of HIPAA, and the requirements of any regulations promulgated there under. We have
implemented appropriate safeguards to prevent the use or disclosure of a patient's PHI.
Employment Functions
An Equal Opportunity Employer, Maxim pays our employees competitively and offers a wide
range of benefits. Employees who work 120 hours or more in a four-week period are eligible
for a variety of benefits, including healthcare and paid time off. Maintaining eligibility requires
working 30 or more hours per week.
Orientation
Healthcare professionals receive Maxim orientation that is tailored per profession and geared
toward familiarizing them with company policies and procedures. In addition, prior to the start
of services, Maxim will review any Macomb County-specific materials with our employees.
Only employees who have completed both Maxim and the County orientation are eligible for
assignment.
Insurance Coverage
Maxim is insured through Underwriters lloyd's of London. We maintain General and
Professional Liability that includes self insured retention. The General and Professional policies
are written as claims-made policies. Maxim also carries Auto Liability and Worker's
Compensation policies.
Supporting Corporate Structure
Maxim Healthcare Services is a national company providing facility staffing and homecare
services. We have organized our company into two divisions: Facility Staffing, and Homecare
and Wellness. With these divisions, Maxim is better able to employ personnel who are
experienced at recruiting and staffing medical professionals within their respective
marketplace, as well as allow our company to combine our resources to devote the best of
what our company can offer to our clients.
Established in 1988 to address the nursing shortage, Maxim has since evolved to service
numerous sectors of the healthcare industry. Maxim offers clients, like the County, integrated

Our Success: Maxim's success is as a result of recruitment, retention, and customer and client
care. Our ability to recruit talented personnel and to embrace commitment to customer
satisfaction has helped our company grow from a small team of eager Recruiters to a
corporation with satisfied clients in nearly every corner of the nation.
Our Strategy: Maxim offers one-stop shopping healthcare solutions to the County. While
serving as a reliable industry resource, we understand that each of our service lines requires a
unique focus. This specialized approach demonstrates our awareness and commitment to each
niche of clinical and administrative healthcare. Maxim continues to evolve and will assist the
County with a full spectrum of healthcare staffing needs.

Commitment to Leading & Serving Others
Honesty and integrity are the core values of our organization. Our commitment to these values
has helped us become recognized within the local communities we serve. We take our role
within the community very seriously, because we recognize that our clients and their patients
depend on us to provide quality healthcare services.
The need to make sound, ethical decisions as we interact with patients, customers, candidates,
employees, and other healthcare providers, suppliers, colleagues, and communities, has never
been greater. It's the right thing to do, and it's necessary for success-now and in the future.
Maxim is committed to achieving the highest standards of ethics and integrity when servicing
the County's account.
Notes/Exceptions to Contractual Terms
Maxim fully intends to enter into a contract with Macomb County, but notes the following
exceptions to contractual terms:
'" Page 4, INSURANCE, COMMERCIAL GENERAL LIABILITY INSURANCE - Maxim's
insurance is written on a claims made basis. We respectfully request the County to
change "occurrence basis" to "claims-made basis."
'" Page 4, INSURANCE, COMMERCIAL GENERAL LIABILITY INSURANCE, item b. - Maxim's
policy carries a "Products Exclusion" because Maxim only provides services, not
products. We respectfully request the County to remove "Products" from this section.
'" Page 4, INSURANCE, PROFESSIONAL LIABILITY/ERRORS & OMMISSIONS - Maxim
agrees to have our insurance be primary, but only when the claim is due to Maxim's sole
negligence.
'" Page 4, INSURANCE, PROFESSIONAL LIABILITY/ERRORS & OM MISSIONS - Maxim
insurance policy is constructed to protect its interests when a claim is not Maxim's sole
responsibility. We are willing to indemnify the State and its parties and we will accept
responsibility for a claim of our sole negligence. This is the intent of our request to
remove the waiver of subrogation.
Maxim is willing to cooperate with the County and negotiate these exceptions to contractual
terms.

the extensive revisions to the county's Emergency Action Guidelines (EAG) and Hazard

management program and require extensive time. dfort. skills and knowledge. Mr. Locke has

2010 MEMA AWARD :'oIOMll'\ATIONS
PREPAREDNESS
My nominee for the MEMA Prep(lrt~dness orthe '{ear A . . . .m d exemplifies this
category. The nominee has been involved in Emergency Management for o\.'er 20 )'t"HS.
The nominee is a leader in the field & our community, is proud & Ilpprt'ciativc of the
expertise afforded us. This nominee has demonstrated preparedness skills in undertaking
the coordination & development 01'3 of the mosl comprehensive & importllnt planning
docnments for any (:ommunity: Continuity ofOper;ltions Plan, Emt'rgency Action
Guidel ioes & Hazurd Mitigation PI<lll. Each of these phlllS alone requires ;, considerable
amount of time, coordination, & expertise. This candidate has unde11aken all 3 within the
same time frame.
The Continuity of Operut ions PI un (COOP) was approved by our community in
April 2010. The COOP is an entirely new plan for our community. Due to the
unfamiliarity of this concept & the complexity of this plan it took approximately 1.5
years to complete. The plan includes infOlmation to sustain & continue operations for 26
departments. This nominee led a Steering Committee that provided oversight for the plun
document & provides leadership for plan implementation. The nominee met with each of
the 26 departments as well uS conducting ovcr.:t dozen Steering Head meetings. Since
plan approval, the nominee is no"\' meeting \vith departments to begin the review process
of their sections as well as conduct tabletop exercises so that the plan participants huvc u
clear understanding of their role should the plan be activated.
In mid 2009, on the nominee's own initiative, the nominee proceeded to take on
the task of revising our Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP) which is set to expire in July
2010. The nominee consulted with the State on new guidance & developed an assertive
approach & schedules to ensure the timely submittal of our plan. The HMP is inelusive
of 26 st'parate jurisdictions. The nominee held a kick-off meeting with the jurisdictions,
developt'd plan review surveys to gather their most recent information, held individual
meetings as necessary & publ ic heurings as required. The nominee made all changes to
the plan and added new information where pcrtinent. The plan is currently awaiting final
approval by the State & will then be forwarded to FEMA.
The final document is thc revision of our Emergency Action Guideline. Based
upon new planning guidance & documents, the nominee is revising our CUITent EAG,
The new plun fonnat will be u blend of both the EAG format & the Emergency Support
Function (ESf) fomlat as used by the federal govcrnmcnt. The nominee is using the
most positi ve & effective components of each planning document to create an all-hazards
plan that is actually employed by our local offIcials & personnel in an emergency or
disaster situation. Too often these plans are under utilized duc to the structure of the
document itself. Planning sessions, training & exercises are ull components of this
planning project uS well.
t\.1y nominee is an exemplary employee whose tireless efforts make for an
outstanding candidate for the Preparedness of the Year Award.

Dear Ms. Wolber,
Thank. you for the opportunity to attend the Cross Border Interoperable
Communications Conference in Windsor, Ontario this week. Many relevant
issues were discussed and I took the opportunity to champion the interests of
Macomb County as well as other UASI partners.
As you know, the conference began at I :OOpm Monday, September 13 and
concluded at noon on the 15 th . Conference participants identifIed 52 areas of
concern and attendees formed ad hoc working groups to discuss areas of
interest. Wednesday morning the group voted on the top ten "do first" items.
I participated in four working groups on Tuesday and a further group that met
on Wednesday morning. This final group was tasked to form an action plan
for one of the agreed upon "do first" issues. I also acted as the presenter of
this plan in the final summation meeting held Wednesday morning. During
the conference, I had opportunity to "network" with Canadian personnel from
Windsor and discuss issues relevant to pending grants.
Approximately 125 persons attended this conference from all parts of Canada
and the US; from Washington State to Maine and from British Columbia to
Ontario. Representatives from Industry Canada (the Canadian version of the
FCC), the Canadian Government, the RCMP, and local Canadian first
responders interacted with representatives from the FCC, DHS, OEC and
American first responders. Some very interesting and helpful information was
disclosed: Cross border communications is happening in most of the border
areas. But these communications networks are, for the most part, informal and
based on necessity. No formal SOPs or governance agreements exist. Worse,
knowledge of these networks remains local. Industry Canada has not
identified spectrum for the exclusive use ofpubJic safety organizations.
Rather, Canadian spectrum is available to anyone on a first come first served
basis.

This explains some of the difficulty in coordinating communications across
the common border. And the Canadians are developing a data base of
communications assets along the border on both the Canadian and US sides
Some of the suggested solutions involve: action at the federal level in both
Canada and the US to codifY the existing ad hoc communications practices of
the locals, identify Canadian border communications assets and enter this
information into the CASM (Communication Asset Survey and Mapping tool)
database and clear incumbent Canadian radio users from the US VHF and
UHF interoperability channels to provide common shared nationwide radio
channels for both international partners,
It is my belief that this conference will provide a firm basis for establishing
the relationships and governance necessary to realize seamless, legal cross
border communications.

Conference Report - 2010 Summit
This report is to inform you of the activities and classes that I and Keith Kuchenmeister
participated in at the Michigan Emergency Management Association (MEMA)/Michigan State
Police-Emergency Management Homeland Security Division 2010 Summit.
The 2010 Summit was conducted at the Grand Traverse Resort in Acme. Michigan between
October 4 through 7, 2010. We arrived on Monday in time to participate in the MEMA Bi­
Annual Membership Meeting. As I am a Board Member (Region 2North Liaison), it was
imperative that I be at the meeting to give my District Report.
The Conference began on Tuesday, October 5, 2010 with a General Session consisting ofa
FEMA Update, Lessons Leamed from the Enbridge Oil Spill and finally Emergency
Management Sharing Forum of Best Practices. (Summit Agenda is attached)
Later in the afternoon I took the following classes; GIS in Emergency Management and
Strengthen Your Emergency Management Program. Keith took Partnership for Citizen
Preparedness and Bomb Assessment Tool for Schools.
On Wednesday, October 6, 2010 I took an all day class: Legal Issues in Emergency
Management. Keith began the day with a four hour block of Legal Issues in Emergency
Management, and then he took the following two 2-hour courses: Improvised Explosive Devices
(lED) Awareness and Partneting Emergency Management and Citizen Corps.
That evening at the Awards Banquet, Mr. Ronald Logocki of Harrison Township was awarded
the "Volunteer of the Year" Award for his CERT work in Harrison. Keith Kuchenmeister had
nominated him for this award. I was also awarded the "Preparedness of the Year" Award, being
nominated by you. Thank you for the nomination and appreciation for my work in this phase of
Emergency Management. You had also been nominated by the Michigan State Police as the
Professional Emergency Manager of the Year. Unfortunately, I am sorry to say you did not
receive this award which you so strongly deserved.
The Conference ended on Thursday with another General Session and these topics: Flooding-The
Damage it can Do and 4-3-2-1 Leadership ....Tools you can use now.
Thank you for the opportunity for allowing us to attend this valuable conference. The training
courses were very beneficial for us in our responsibilities here in the County but the networking
with our fellow Emergency Management peers was extremely appreciated.
