RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #76-570-5 with Amelie de Mahy L.Ac LLC, a limited liability company, in an amount not to exceed $306,000, to provide acupuncture services at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and Contra Costa Health Centers for the period from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this contract will result in budgeted expenditures of up to $306,000 over a 3-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 relies on contracts to provide necessary specialty health services to its patients. The County has contracted with Amelie de Mahy L.Ac LLC for acupuncture services since 2017.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

In January 2020, the County Administrator approved and the Purchasing Services Manager executed Contract #76-570-3 with Amelie de Mahy L.Ac, in an amount not to exceed $200,000, to provide acupuncture services at CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers for the period from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2022.

On June 7, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved Amendment Agreement #76-570-4 to increase the contract payment limit by $40,000, from $200,000 to a new payment limit of $240,000, with no change in the term of January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2022.

Approval of Contract #76-570-5 will allow the contractor to continue providing acupuncture services through December 31, 2025.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the necessary specialty acupuncture services needed for patient care will not be available or will create increased wait times due to the limited number of specialty providers available within the community.
