RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County, as follows: (1) Cancellation Agreement #26-395-27 with Locumtenens.com, LLC, a limited liability company effective at close of business on June 30, 2022; and (2) Contract #26-395-28 with Locumtenens.com, LLC, a limited liability company, in an amount not to exceed $600,000, to provide temporary physician services at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC), and Contra Costa Health Centers, for the period from July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract will result in annual contractual service expenditures of up to $600,000 for FY 2022-2023 and is funded 100% by Hospital Enterprise Fund I. (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

CCRMC has an obligation to provide certain specialized health care services for its members under the terms of their Individual and Group Health Plan membership contracts with the County. This contractor has been providing services to CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers since 2000, and provides temporary medical staff services to ensure patient care is provided during peak loads, temporary absences, vacations and emergency situations when additional staffing is required.

After ongoing negotiations between the department and the contractor they have mutually agreed to a rate increase, therefore, in accordance with General Conditions Paragraph 5 (Termination) of the contract, the department and contractor have agreed to mutual cancellation of this contract. Approval of Cancellation Agreement #26-395-27 will accomplish this termination.

Approval of Contract #26-395-28 will allow the contractor to continue providing temporary physician services at CCRMC and Contra Costa Medical Centers for the period July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023. County has met its obligations with respective labor partners.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the contractor will not have contract rate scheduled revised.
