☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #26-936-18 with Kevin A. Beadles, M.D., an individual, in an amount not to exceed $1,605,000, to provide ophthalmology services at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and Contra Costa Health Centers for the period June 1, 2026 through May 31, 2029.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This contract will result in contractual service expenditures of up to $1,605,000 over a 3-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. CCRMC has contracted with Dr. Beadles for ophthalmology specialty services since August 1996.
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 Administrative Bulletin 600.3, CCRMC Physician services are exempt from Solicitation requirements.
On June 27, 2023, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-936-17 with Kevin Beadles, M.D., in an amount not to exceed $1,500,000, for the provision of ophthalmology services at CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers, for the period June 1, 2023 through May 31, 2026.
Approval of Contract #26-936-18 will allow the Contractor to continue to provide ophthalmology services at CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers through May 31, 2029.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this Contract is not approved, the necessary specialty ophthalmology services needed for patient care will not be available or will create increased wait times due to limited number of specialty providers available within the community.
