RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract #74-438-5 with Vasanta Venkat Giri, M.D., a self-employed individual, in an amount not to exceed $267,040, to provide professional outpatient psychiatric services at County Mental Health Clinics throughout Contra Costa County for the period from February 1, 2014 through January 31, 2015.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 16% Mental Health Services Act; 84% Mental Health Realignment. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

In April 2013, the County Administrator approved and the Purchasing Services Manager executed, Contract #74-438-2 (as amended by Amendment Agreements #74-438-3 and #74-438-4) with Vasanta Venkat Giri, M.D. for the provision of professional outpatient psychiatric services, for the period from February 1, 2013 through January 31, 2014.

Due to a change in contractual negotiations, the Division is requesting continuation of the Contract effective February 1, 2014, to allow no disruptions in services.

Approval of Contract #74-438-5 will allow Contractor to continue providing professional outpatient psychiatric services at Mental Health Clinics throughout Contra Costa County through January 31, 2015.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, County’s clients will not have access to Contractor’s services, which may result in a reduction in the overall levels of service to the community.
