RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County as follows: (1) Cancellation Agreement #76-747-2 with Matthew J. Tafoya, M.D., an individual, effective at the end of business on January 31, 2023; and (2) Contract #76-747-3 with Matthew J. Tafoya, M.D., an individual, in an amount not to exceed $400,000, to provide emergency medicine services for Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and Health Centers patients, for the period February 1, 2023 through January 31, 2025.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The contract cancellation is cost neutral due to the consecutive effective date of the new contract being requested. The contract request will result in contractual service expenditures of up to $400,000 over a two-year period and will be funded 100% by Hospital Enterprise Fund I revenues. (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

Due to the limited number of specialty providers available within the community, CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers rely on contracts to provide necessary specialty health services to its patients, including, but not limited to emergency medicine services. This contractor has been providing these specialized services at CCRMC since August 1, 2021.

On July 26, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #76-747-1 with Matthew J. Tafoya, M.D., in an amount not to exceed $600,000, for the provision of emergency medicine services at CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers, for the period August 1, 2022 through July 31, 2025.

The department and contractor have agreed to (1) mutual cancellation of the current contract in accordance with General Conditions Paragraph 5 (Termination), and (2) establish a new contract for the next two years.

Under Contract #76-747-3 contractor will continue to provide emergency medicine services to CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Center patients with a new contract term of February 1, 2023 through January 31, 2025.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this cancellation and new contract are not approved, the contractor will not be able to provide emergency medicine services to CCRMC and Health Centers patients under the recent negotiated terms.
