RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract Amendment Agreement #26-395-15 with Locumtenens.Com., LLC, a Limited Liability Company, effective November 1, 2013, to amend Contract #26-95-13 (as amended by Contract Amendment Agreement #26-395-14) and to increase the payment limit by $150,000, from $300,000 to a new payment limit of $450,000, with no change in the original term of March 1, 2013 through February 28, 2014.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This amendment is funded 100% by Enterprise Fund I. This contract includes a revised Rate Schedule (Exhibit A) to add Hospitalist and Nocturnist services. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

On March 19, 2013, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-395-13 (as amended by Contract Amendment Agreement #26-395-14) with Locumtenens.Com., LLC for the provision of temporary physicians to ensure appropriate medical physician coverage at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Centers, for the period from March 1, 2013 through February 28, 2014, with modifications to the General Conditions from the standard County format.

Due to an increase in utilization and a delay in invoice processing, the division is requesting an effective date of November 1, 2013 for this amendment including a request to add two new physician classes to the revised rate schedule of the contract.

Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #26-395-15 increases the payment limit and modifies the rate schedule and to add two new classifications of temporary Hospitalist and Nocturnist physician services through February 28, 2014.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, patients requiring these services at Contra Costa Regional Medical and Contra Costa Health Centers will not have access to Contractor’s services which may result in a reduction of overall services to the community.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

NOT APPLICABLE.
