RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County, as follows: (1) Cancelation Agreement #26-774-8 with Robert Buckley, M.D., an individual, effective on the close of business on November 8, 2022; and (2) Contract #26-774-9 with Robert Buckley, M.D., an individual, in an amount not to exceed $750,000, to provide orthopedic services for Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and Contra Costa Health Centers patients, for the period from November 9, 2022 through November 8, 2025.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract will result in contractual service expenditures of up to $750,000 over a 3-year period and will be funded 100% by Hospital Enterprise Fund I revenues.

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. CCRMC has been contracting with Robert Buckley, M.D., since July 2014 to provide orthopedic services.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On May 11, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-774-7 with Robert Buckley, M.D., in an amount not to exceed $750,000 for the provision of orthopedic services for CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers patients, for the period from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2024.

In consideration of the contractor’s agreement to continue providing orthopedic services, the County has agreed to revised rates, which requires the execution of a new contract with payment provisions and a term that 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 cancelation of this contract. Approval of Cancelation Agreement #26-774-8 will accomplish this termination.

Approval of Contract #26-774-9 will allow the department to execute a contract with the recently agreed upon rates so that the contractor will continue providing orthopedic services for CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers patients, through November 8, 2025.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the necessary specialty orthopedic 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.
