FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of this Contract will result in contractual service expenditures of up to $480,000 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 anesthesiology services will include clinic coverage, consultation, training, medical procedures, and on-call coverage. This Contractor has been providing anesthesiology services at CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers since January 2011.
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.
On June 21, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-689-10 with Jeffrey J. Saadi, M.D., in an amount not to exceed $1,215,000 for the provision of anesthesiology services at CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers, for the period June 1, 2022 through May 31, 2025.

Saadi, M.D., effective April 1, 2023, to increase the payment limit by $225,000, from $1,215,000 to a new payment limit of $1,440,000, with no change in the term of June 1, 2022 through May 31, 2025.
Approval of Contract #26-689-12 will allow Contractor to continue providing anesthesiology services at CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers through May 31, 2026.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this Contract is not approved, the necessary specialty anesthesiology services needed for patient care will not be available or will create increased wait times due to the limited number of specialty providers available within the community.
