Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee (Jeff Smith, M.D.)to execute on
behalf of the County, Contract)#26-550 with Amarpreet Singh, M.D., a self-employed individual, in
an amount not to exceed $1511,220, to provide professional psychiatric services for the Psychiatric
Emergency Room at Contra Gosta Regional Medical Center, for the period from January 1, 2006

BACKGROUND/REASON(S)FOR RECOMMENDATION(S):
For a number of years the County has contracted with Medical, Dental and Mental Health Specialists
to provide specialized professional services that are not otherwise available in its Hospital and Health
Centers. Currently, there is an insufficient number of employee physicians to provide the mandated
level of coverage at the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center Psychiatric Emergency Room.
On January 11, 2005, the Board of Supervisors approved a Mental Health Specialist Contract #74-
241 with Amarpreet Singh, M.D., for the period from January 1, 2005 through December 31, 2005,
for the provision of professional psychiatric services for the Mental Health Division.
Approval of Contract #26-5510 will allow the Contractor to provide psychiatric services for Contra
Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Centers, due to an organizational restructure
at the Hospital,through December 31, 2006.
