RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of County Contract #76-547-7 with Arati Pratap, M.D., an individual, in an amount not to exceed $270,000, to provide gastroenterology services at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and Contra Costa Health Centers, for the period November 1, 2022 through October 31, 2025.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this contract will result in contractual service expenditures of up to $270,000 over a 3-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 Health Centers rely on contractors to provide necessary specialty health services to their patients. This contractor’s gastroenterology services will include clinic coverage, on-call services, medical and surgical procedures. The County has been contracting with Arati Pratap, M.D., since September 2016 to provide gastroenterology services.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

In August 2021, the County Administrator approved and the Purchasing Services Manager executed Contract #76-547-5 with Arati Pratap, M.D., in an amount not to exceed $65,000, to provide gastroenterology services for CCRMC and Health Centers patients for the period November 1, 2021 through October 31, 2022.

In June 2022, the County Administrator approved and Purchasing Services Manager executed Contract Amendment Agreement #76-547-6, effective July 1, 2022, to increase the contract payment limit by $25,000 to a new payment limit of $90,000 to provide additional gastroenterology services, with no change in the original term of November 1, 2021 through October 31, 2022.

Approval of Contract #76-547-7 will allow the contractor to continue providing gastroenterology services through October 31, 2025.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

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