SUBJECT: Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #26-251-6 with Interim
Physicians, Inc. dba Western Physicians Registry
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee
(Frank Puglisi, Jr. ) , to execute on behalf of the County, Contract
Amendment Agreement #26-251-6, effective May 15, 1997, to amend
Contract #26-25.1-5 with Interim Physicians, Inc. , dba Western
Physicians Registry, to remedy the mutual mistake of the County and
Contractor and to accurately reflect the intent of the parties.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Funding for this Contract is included in the Department' s Enterprise I
Budget. Cost to the County depends upon utilization.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND
On May 20, 1997, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-251-5
with Interim Physicians, Inc. dba Western Physicians Registry, for the
period from May 15, 1997 through May 31, 1998, for recruitment of locum
tenens physicians for Merrithew Memorial Hospital and Health Centers.
Due to the mutual mistake of the County and the Contractor, the
Contract payment provisions did not accurately reflect the intent of
the parties, which was that the Contractor be reimbursed a recruitment
fee, in the amount of $15, 000, in the event the County offers, and a
physician accepts, permanent employment with the County within one year
from the termination date of the Contract.
Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #26-251-6 will reform the
Contract, to make the formal Contract consistent with the oral
agreement, which was negotiated with the Contractor.
