Subject:Cancellation Agreement #76-524-12 and Contract #76-524-13 with Samir B. Shah, M.D., Inc.,
BACKGROUND:
On June 13, 2013, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #76-524-11 with Samir B. Shah, M.D., Inc., for the
period from June 1, 2013 through May 31, 2016, for the provision of ophthalmology services, including,
consultation, clinic coverage, training, on-call services and medical and/or surgical procedures, and upon request
Department Head of the assigned medical unit and Section Chief at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and
Contra Costa Health Centers.
The Department and the Contractor have renegotiated the Contract terms for the Contractor to serve as Chief Medical
Officer under the Chief Executive Officer at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center, upon request. Therefore, in
accordance with General Conditions Paragraph 5. (Termination and Cancellation) of the Contract, the Department
and Contractor have agreed to cancel Contract #76-524-11 and enter into a new Contract including the Chief Medical
Officer services.
Approval of Contract #76-524-13 will allow the Contractor to continue to provide additional Ophthalmology services
and to act as Chief Medical Officer at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Centers,
through April 30, 2018.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not approved, patients requiring ophthalmology services at Contra Costa Regional Medical and
Contra Costa Health Centers will not have access to Contractor’s services, which will result in a reduction in the
overall level of services to the community.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not Applicable.
