RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute on behalf of the County, Contract Amendment Agreement #26-232-2 with UHS Surgical Services, Inc., a corporation, effective January 1, 2017, to amend Contract #26-232 (as amended by Administrative Amendment #26-232-1), to increase the payment limit by $10,000, from $158,000 to a new payment limit of $168,000, with no change in the original term of September 1, 2015 through August 31, 2017.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This amendment is funded 100% Hospital Enterprise Fund I. (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

On December 15, 2015, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-232 (as amended by Administrative Amendment #26-232-1) with UHS Surgical Services, Inc., for the provision of medical lasers, equipment and certified technicians to operate lasers in the Surgical Unit at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Health Centers (CCRMC), for the period from September 1, 2015 through August 31, 2017.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

At the time of negotiations, a list of equipment utilized for these surgeries was provided by the Contractor. As services continued it was discovered the operating room staff at CCRMC were using additional equipment not on the original rate schedule. The Division is requesting this amendment to revise the rate schedule and pay Contractor for additional equipment used.

Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #26-232-2 will allow the Contractor to provide additional hours of certified technicians and equipment to operate lasers in the Surgical Unit through August 31, 2017.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, rate schedule will not be revised and Contractor will not be paid for services provided in good faith.
