☒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 #76-882-1 with Kishore K. Chundru, M.D., an individual, in an amount not to exceed $300,000, to provide radiology services at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and Contra Costa Health Centers for the period from September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2027.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of this contract will result in contractual service expenditures of up to $300,000 over a two-year period and will be funded 100% by Hospital Enterprise Fund I revenues.
BACKGROUND:
Due to limited number of specialty providers available within the community, CCRMC and Health Centers rely on Contractors to provide necessary radiology specialty health services to their patients. This Contractor has been part of the CCRMC Provider Network providing these services and fostering a deep understanding of the CCHP organization, mission, values, and long-term objectives since September 1, 2024.
This Contract is entered into under and subject to the following legal authorities: California Government Code §§ 26227 and 31000; and 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.
In September 2024, the Purchasing Services Manager executed Contract #76-882 with Kishore K. Chundru, M.D., in an amount not to exceed $150,000, for the provision of radiology services for CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Center for the period September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2025.
Approval of Contract #76-882-1 will allow the Contractor to continue to provide radiology services through August 31, 2027.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this Contract is not approved, CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers will not have access to radiology services which may delay services to patients.
