RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #76-506-15 with Robert Liebig, M.D, an individual, in an amount not to exceed $2,610,000, to provide radiology services at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and Health Centers, for the period January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this contract will result in contractual service expenditures of up to $2,610,000 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. CCRMC has contracted with Robert Liebig, M.D. for radiology specialty services since April 2003.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On November 12, 2019, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #76-506-12 with Robert Liebig, M.D., in an amount not to exceed $1,905,000, for the provision of radiology services including, but not limited to: consultation, on-call coverage, and interpretation of computed tomography scans, magnetic resonance imaging, Ultrasounds, invasive procedures and plain films at CCRMC for the period from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2022.

On December 8, 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved Amendment Agreement #76-506-13, effective December 1, 2020, to increase the contract payment limit by $135,000, from $1,905,000 to a new payment limit of $2,040,000, with no change in the original term of January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2022 to provide additional radiology services.

On November 29, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved Amendment Agreement #76-506-14, effective November 1, 2022, to increase the contract payment limit by $50,000, from $2,040,000 to a new payment limit of $2,090,000, with no change in the original term of January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2022 to provide additional radiology services.

The delay of this contract was due to on-going negotiations between contractor and division. Approval of Contract #76-506-15 will allow the contractor to continue to provide radiology services at CCRMC and Health Centers through December 31, 2025.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

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