RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of County as follows: (1) Cancellation Agreement #76-727-2 with Benjamin Rayikanti, MD, Inc., a professional corporation, effective at the end of business on May 31, 2022; and (2) Contract #76-727-3 with Benjamin Rayikanti, MD, Inc., a professional corporation, in an amount not to exceed $400,000, to provide anesthesiology services for Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and Health Centers patients, for the period June 1, 2022 through May 31, 2024.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract will result in contractual service expenditures of up to $400,000 over a two-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 rely on contracts to provide necessary specialty health services to its patients. The contractor’s anesthesiology services will include clinic coverage, consultation, training, medical procedures, and on-call coverage. This contractor has been providing anesthesiology services since April 2021.  
  
On May 17, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #76-727-1 with Benjamin Rayikanti, MD, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $380,000, for the provision of anesthesiology services at CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers, for the period April 1, 2022 through March 31, 2024.  
  
In consideration of the County's necessity to contract for specialized services due to recruitment and retention limitations, and the agreement to continue providing services, the department and contractor have agreed to (1) mutual cancellation of the current contract in accordance with General Conditions Paragraph 5 (Termination), of the contract (Cancellation Agreement #76-727-2) will accomplish this cancellation, and (2) establish a new contract with the correct terms and conditions for the next two years.  
  
Under Contract #76-727-3 contractor will continue to provide anesthesiology services to CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Center patients with a new contract term of June 1, 2022 through May 31, 2024.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this cancellation and new contract is not approved contractor will be unable to provide anesthesiology services to CCRMC and Health Centers patients.
