RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract Amendment Agreement #76-580-9 with James Pak, M.D., Incorporated, effective October 1, 2021, to amend Contract #76-580-8 to increase the payment limit by $90,000, from $150,000, to a new payment limit of $240,000 with no change in the term March 1, 2021 through February 28, 2022 to provide additional hours of anesthesiology services at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and Contra Costa Health Centers.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this amendment will result in an additional $90,000 and will be funded 100% by Hospital Enterprise Fund I. (No 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 their patients. CCRMC has contracted with James Pak, M.D. Incorporated, for anesthesiology services, including clinic coverage, consultation, training, medical procedures, and on-call coverage since May 1, 2017.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

In December 2020, the County Administrator approved and the Purchasing Services Manager executed Contract #76-580-8 with James Pak, M.D., Incorporated, in an amount not to exceed $150,000 for the provision of anesthesia services at CCRMC for the period from March 1, 2021 through February 28, 2022.

This contractor’s utilization is higher than anticipated due to anesthesiology back-fill services, therefore, the Division requested the contract payment limit be increased.

Approval of Amendment Agreement #76-580-9 will allow the contractor to provide additional anesthesiology services at CCRMC through February 28, 2022.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, patients requiring anesthesiology services will not have access to this contractor’s services.
