RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County, as follows: 1) Cancellation Agreement #26-395-29 with Locumtenens.com, LLC, a limited liability company effective on the close of business on December 31, 2022; and (2) Contract #26-395-30 with Locumtenens.com, LLC, a limited liability company in an amount not to exceed $600,000, to provide temporary physician services at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC), and Contra Costa Health Centers for the period January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract will result in annual contractual service expenditures of up to $600,000 and is funded 100% by Hospital Enterprise Fund I. (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

CCRMC has an obligation to provide certain specialized health care services for its members under the terms of their Individual and Group Health Plan membership contracts with the County. This contractor has been providing services to CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers since 2000, and provides temporary medical staff services to ensure patient care is provided during peak loads, temporary absences, vacations and emergency situations when additional staffing is required.

In consideration of this contractor’s agreement to continue providing services, both parties have agreed to re-negotiate the contract payment provisions and the term to reflect the intent of the parties. Therefore, in accordance with General Conditions Paragraph 5 (Termination), of the contract, the department and contractor have agreed to a mutual cancellation of this contract. Approval of Cancellation Agreement #26-395-29 will accomplish this termination.

Approval of Contract #26-395-30 will allow the contractor to continue providing temporary physician services at CCRMC and Contra Costa Medical Centers through December 31, 2023. This contract includes services provided by represented classifications and the County has met its obligations with the respective labor partner(s).

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the contractor will not be able to provide temporary physician services at CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers.
