RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County as follows:


1. Cancellation Agreement #76-524-15 in the amount of $2,029,000 with Samir B. Shah, M.D., Inc., A Professional Corporation, effective close of business on April 30, 2019; and

RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)

2. Contract #76-524-16 in the amount of $1,700,000 with Samir B. Shah, M.D., Inc., A Professional Corporation, for the period from May 1, 2019 through April 30, 2021, for the provision of ophthalmology surgical services, and for performing duties of the Chief Medical Officer and the Chief Executive Officer of Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and Health Centers.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is 100% funded by Hospital Enterprise Fund I.

BACKGROUND:

On April 24, 2018, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #76-524-14 with Samir B. Shah, M.D., Inc., for the period from May 1, 2018 through April 30, 2021, for the provision of ophthalmology services including consultation, clinic coverage, training, and medical and/or surgical procedures, and upon request acting as Department Head and Section Chief of the assigned medical unit; and Chief Medical Officer at CCRMC and Health Centers.

The Department and the Contractor have renegotiated the Contract terms to allow the Contractor to serve as Chief Executive Officer of the CCRMC and Health Centers. Therefore, in accordance with General Conditions Paragraph 5. (Termination and Cancellation) of the Contract, the Department and Contractor have agreed to cancel Contract #76-524-14 and enter into a new Contract to include the Chief Executive Officer services.

Approval of Contract #76-524-16 will allow the Contractor to continue to provide ophthalmology services, to act as Chief Medical Officer at CCRMC and Health Centers, and to expand his role to include the duties of the Chief Executive Office of CCRMC, through April 30, 2021.

The annual payment limit of $850,000 reflects the full compensation payable for all services, work, expenses or costs provided or incurred by Contractor to serve as Chief Executive Officer of the CCRMC and Health Centers, Chief Medical Officer at CCRMC and Health Centers, and to provide ophthalmology services. This compensation is less costly than the previous practice of hiring two separate individuals to serve as Chief Executive Officer and Chief Medical Officer into exempt County positions.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, Contra Costa Regional Medical and Contra Costa Health Centers will not have access to Contractor’s services, which will result in a reduction in the overall level of services to the community.
