RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #76-739-1 with Francis M. Wright, Jr., M.D., an individual, in an amount not to exceed $225,000, to provide obstetrics and gynecology services at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and Contra Costa Health Centers, for the period from April 1, 2022 through March 31, 2024.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this contract will result in budgeted annual expenditures of up to $225,000 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 Dr. Wright, Jr. for obstetrics and gynecology services since 2021.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

In May 2021, the County Administrator approved and the Purchasing Services Manager executed Contract #76-739 with Francis M. Wright, Jr., M.D., in an amount not to exceed $100,000, to provide obstetrics and gynecology services for the period from April 1, 2021 through March 31, 2022.

Approval of Contract #76-739-1 will allow contractor to continue providing obstetrics and gynecology services at CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers, through March 31, 2024. This contract request was delayed due to ongoing negotiations between the contractor and the department.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, patients requiring obstetrics and gynecology services at CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers will not have access to this contractor’s services.
