Subject:Amendment #23–453-2 with Planned Parenthood
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Center, La Clinica de La Raza, and Planned Parenthood. This will allow the community
clinics to provide primary medical care services to residents affected by the change in the
County’s BHC Program.
On May 5, 2009, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #23-453 (as amended by
Contract Extension Agreement #23-453-1), with Planned Parenthood, to provide primary
medical care services to low income uninsured residents of Contra Costa County, for the
period from May 1, 2009 through April 30, 2012. The General Conditions were modified
from the standard County format.
Due to an increase in undocumented patients at Brookside Community Health Center, and
La Clinica de La Raza, utilization of services exceeded the expectations of the Department.
Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #23-453-2 will reflect a decrease in the
payment limit as agreed upon by the parties, allowing Contractor to continue to provide
services through April 30, 2012.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not approved, patients requiring these medical services at Brookside
Community Health Center and La Clinica de la Raza will have longer wait times and
possibly go untreated.
