☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of County Contract #76-805-1 with Michelle Shahrzad Davis, M.D., an individual, in an amount not to exceed $250,000, to provide emergency medicine physician services in the emergency room at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) for the period October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2025.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of this Contract will result in annual expenditures of up to $250,000 and will be funded as budgeted by the department 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 contracts to provide necessary specialty health services to their patients. Contractor’s emergency medicine physician services will include clinic coverage, consultation, training, medical and surgical procedures. 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. Per Administrative Bulletin 600.3 CCRMC Physician services are exempt from solicitation requirements.
Under new Contract #76-805-1 allows the Contractor to provide emergency medicine physician services at CCRMC in the emergency room through September 30, 2025.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this Contract is not approved, the necessary specialty emergency medicine physician 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.
