Subject:Cancellation Agreement #26-967-9 and Contract #26-967-10 with Thomas J. McDonald, M.D.
BACKGROUND:
On September 18, 2007, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-967-8 with
Thomas J. McDonald, M.D., to provide Ophthalmology services including consultation,
clinic coverage, training, on-call services, medical and/or surgical procedures, for patients at
Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Centers, for the period
from June 1, 2007 through May 31, 2010.
In consideration of Contractor’s agreement to continue providing services, both parties have
agreed to re-negotiate payment terms. This will allow the Contractor continue to be paid at
the current rate and remove any previously negotiated increases for fiscal year 2009 through
2010. The Department and the Contractor have mutually agreed to renegotiate the Contract
Payment Provisions and the term to reflect the intent of the parties. Therefore, in accordance
with Special Conditions, Paragraph 2. (Modification to Termination and Cancellation) of the
Contract, the Department and Contractor have agreed to a mutual cancellation of Contract
#26-967-8. Approval of Cancellation Agreement #26-967-9 will accomplish this termination.
Under Contract #26-967-10, Contractor will provide professional Ophthalmology services,
including, consultation, clinic coverage, training, on-call services, and medical and/or
surgical procedures, through May 31, 2010.
