Attachment B – Revised Project Staffing Plan <br />Revised Project Staffing Plan <br />Orange County Health Department – Medical & Dental Clinics Staffing and Efficiency <br />Analysis <br /> <br />Purpose of Amendment <br />This amendment documents a revision to the consultant project staffing plan for the Orange <br />County Health Department Medical and Dental Clinics Staffing and Efficiency Analysis. The <br />adjustment reflects a realignment of personnel assignments following a delayed project launch <br />and is intended to ensure efficient execution, continuity of leadership, and timely delivery of all <br />contracted services. The scope of work, deliverables, timeline expectations, and total contract <br />value remain unchanged. <br /> <br />Rationale for Staffing Realignment <br />Due to a delay between contract award and project initiation, several originally proposed <br />personnel became unavailable for participation during the revised project execution window as a <br />result of prior contractual obligations. To address this change while maintaining project <br />continuity and performance standards, The Hills Tandem restructured the project team to a <br />focused, senior-led implementation model. <br /> <br />This realignment was intentionally designed to: <br />• Preserve full compliance with the approved scope of services <br />• Concentrate analytical and operational responsibilities among experienced senior staff <br />• Reduce handoffs and coordination complexity <br />• Maintain direct accountability for deliverables and stakeholder engagement <br />The revised staffing structure reflects a practical adjustment to project timing conditions and <br />does not represent a reduction in expertise, capacity, or service commitment. <br /> <br />Revised Project Staffing and Responsibilities <br />Jennifer Fields, MPH – Project Director <br />Ms. Fields will retain full responsibility for executive oversight, strategic direction, and quality <br />assurance for the duration of the engagement. <br />Primary responsibilities include: <br />• Serving as the primary point of contact for Orange County leadership <br />• Providing strategic oversight of staffing models, efficiency analyses, and final <br />recommendations <br />• Co-leading advanced staffing and operational analysis with the Lead Analyst <br />• Ensuring compliance with applicable regulatory, policy, and best practice standards <br />• Reviewing and approving all deliverables prior to submission <br />• Leading or co-presenting findings to County leadership and the Board of Commissioners, <br />as required <br /> <br />Antonette Esmele – Program Manager <br />Ms. Esmele will oversee day-to-day project coordination and execution management. <br />Primary responsibilities include: <br />• Managing the project timeline, task sequencing, and milestone tracking <br />• Coordinating data requests, interviews, site visits, and stakeholder meetings <br />Docusign Envelope ID: 698F2B7F-27BB-45C9-9CCE-04BCCB3FB4C9
