TO: William B. Walker, M.D. Health Services Director
Attn: Jacqueline Pigg, Contracts and Grants Administrator
FROM: Donna M. Wigand, LCSW, Mental Health Director
DATE: November 7, 2005
SUBJECT: Request for Retroactive Contract Amendment Approval — S.P. Resources (#74-
086), dba Medsource Consultants
STATEMENT OF NEED FOR RETROACTIVE CONTRACT
Attached is a request to amend Ithe contract with S.P. Resources, dba Medsource Consultants to
increase the total payment limit to $114,425.00 effective October 1, 2005. Medsource
Consultants provides temporary, psychiatrists to provide vacation, sick leave and extended leave
relief for other County-employed physicians. Currently, a physician under this contract is
providing relief at the Richmond outpatient mental health clinic for a psychiatrist on maternity
leave. Another psychiatrist assigned to that clinic recently left the County's employ, leaving a
shortage of doctor time at that clinic. In the past, this contract has not been utilized beyond its
fiscal capacity because doctors were available through other contracts such as Vista Staffing
Solutions., However, we were jnot able to procure a physician for this assignment through any
other source, thus the need to increase this contract's payment limit. It is my understanding that
Am Care staff are pursuing an independent contract with the psychiatrist working under this
contract (Dr. Davis-Rodriguez)I, as the Richmond Mental Health Outpatient Clinic on 38d` Street
is no longer part of the Mental Health Division; rather it is part of the Richmond Ambulatory
Care Clinic. Until such time as that contract is in place, there needs to be a payment method to
reimburse Medsource Consulta his for Dr. Davis-Rodriguez's services.
BENEFIT TO CONTRA COSTA COUNTY .
Approval of this retroactive contract will allow the continuation of psychiatric outpatient mental
health services by this psychiatrist to West County residents.
AUTHORIZATION OF SERVICES
These services were requested/authorized by the Mental Health Director, pursuant to the
California Welfare and Institutions Code, and under the Bronzon-McCorquodale Act, W&I Code
Section 5608.
