RECOMMENDATION(S):

RESCIND Board action of June 22, 2021 (C.138), which pertained to a contract with Thomas B. Hargrave, III, M.D.; and APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #26-911-33 with Thomas B. Hargrave, III, M.D., an individual, in an amount not to exceed $1,575,000, to provide gastroenterology services at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and Health Centers for the period from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract will result in contractual service expenditures of $1,575,000 over a 3-year period and will be funded 100% by Hospital Enterprise Fund I. (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 Thomas B. Hargrave, M.D., III for gastroenterology services since 1992.

On July 14, 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-911-31 with Thomas B. Hargrave, M.D., III, in an amount not to exceed $450,000, to provide gastroenterology services including consultation, training, on-call coverage services and medical procedures at CCRMC and Health Centers for the period September 1, 2020 through August 31, 2021. On June 8, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Amendment Agreement #26-911-32 to increase the payment limit by $70,000, from $450,000 to a new payment limit of $520,000, with no change in the term.

On June 22, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved item C.138, Contract #26-911-33, however, the dates and payment limit amount on the Board Order were incorrect. This Board Order will rescind that incorrect Board Order and allow the Department to renew this contract with a payment limit of $1,575,000 over a 3-year period. This will allow the contractor to be paid for gastroenterology services at CCRMC and Health Centers through August 31, 2024.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

If this contract is not approved, patients requiring gastroenterology services will not have access to this contractor’s services.
