FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of this Contract will result in contractual service expenditures of up to $630,000 over a three-year period and will be funded 100% by Hospital Enterprise Fund I revenues.
BACKGROUND:
Due to the limited number of specialty providers available within the community, CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers rely on Contractors to provide necessary specialty health services to its patients. Contractor’s podiatry services include clinic coverage, consultation, training, medical procedures, and on-call coverage. County has been contracting with Rodney J. Chan, DPM since May 1, 1988.
This Contract is entered into under and subject to the following legal authorities: California Government Code §§ 26227 and 31000; Health and Safety Code § 1451. Health Services Personnel approved this Contract to ensure no conflicts with labor relations. CCRMC’s Quality Management, Utilization Management and Contract Monitor Staff meet on a regular basis to ensure monitoring and performance measures in the Contract are upheld. Per Administration Bulletin 600.3 CCRMC, Physician services are exempt from Solicitation requirements.
On July 12, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-883-30 with Rodney J. Chan, DPM, in an amount not to exceed $575,000, for the provision of podiatry services at CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers for the period August 1, 2022 through July 31, 2025.
On June 24, 2025, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract Amendment #26-883-31, effective July 1, 2025, to include 24-hour on-call coverage for podiatry services at CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers with no change in the payment limit of $575,000 or term ending July 31, 2025.
Approval of Contract #26-883-32 will allow Contractor to continue to provide podiatry services at CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers through July 31, 2028. This Contract was delayed due to the Health Services Department staff administrative oversight.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this Contract is not approved, the podiatry services needed for patient care will not be provided and may cause a delay in services to CCRMC patients.
