Subject:Cancellation Agreement #26-971-11 and Contract #26-971-12 with Ramon Berguer, M.D.
BACKGROUND:
On January 9, 2007, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-971-8 (as amended
by Amendment Agreement #26-971-9 and #26-971-10) with Ramon Berguer, M.D., to
provide general surgery 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 January 1, 2007 through
December 31, 2009.
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 2009/2010.
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
#26-971-8 (as amended by Amendment Agreements #26-971-9 and #26-971-10). Approval
of Cancellation Agreement #26-971-11 will accomplish this termination.
Under Contract #26-971-12, Contractor will provide professional general surgery services,
including, consultation, clinic coverage, training, on-call services, and medical and/or
surgical procedures, through May 31, 2011.
