RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #76-794-2 with Amir Manuchehry, M.D., an individual, in an amount not to exceed $1,440,000, to provide anesthesiology services for Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and Contra Costa Health Center patients, for the period March 1, 2023 through February 28, 2026.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this contract will result in contractual service expenditures of up to $1,440,000 over a 3-year period and will be funded 100% by Hospital Enterprise Fund I revenues. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

Due to the limited number of specialty providers available within the community, CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers rely on contractors to provide necessary specialty health services to its patients. This contractor’s anesthesiology services will include clinic coverage, consultation, training, medical procedures, and on-call coverage. This contractor has been providing anesthesiology services since September 2022.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

In August, the County Administrator approved and the Purchasing Services Manager executed Contract #76-794 with Amir Manuchehry, M.D., in an amount not to exceed $190,000, for the provision of anesthesiology services at CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers, for the period September 1, 2022 through February 28, 2023.

On February 28, 2023, the Board of Supervisors approved Amendment Agreement #76-794-1, effective February 1, 2023, to increase the payment limit by $60,000, from $190,000 to a new payment limit of $250,000, with no change in the original term of September 1, 2022 through February 28, 2023.

Approval of Contract #76-794-2 will allow this contractor to continue providing anesthesiology services through February 28, 2026.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the necessary specialty anesthesiology services needed for patient care will not be available and will create increased wait times due to the limited number of specialty providers available within the community.
