FROM: By: Jacqueline Pigg, Contracts Administrator - Contra
A� 4�
Costa
DATE: Mayo, 2005 County
SUBJECT:
Retroactive Payment to LocumTenens .Com '
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDAT ION(S) :
Ratify purchase of services from LocumTenens .Com, a corporation, and
authorize the County Auditor-Controller to pay the $16, 865 . 63
outstanding balance, for the provision of temporary and permanent
physician services at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra
Costa Health Centers, for the period from December 1, 2004 through
January 3.1, 2005.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funded by Health Services Department Enterprise I budget. As
appropriate, patients and/or third-party payors will be billed for
services .
REASONS FOR RECOMONDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
It was the intent of the Department to continue contracting with
LocumTenens.Com for the period from December 1, 2004 through January 31,
2005 for locum tenens physicians to work as temporary and permanent
employees to ensure appropriate medical physician and inpatient
psychiatry staff coverage at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and
Contra Costa Health Centers . Due to a lengthy negotiation process
between the parties, a renewal Contract was never executed. Services
were requested and provided by the Contractor in good faith through the
end of January 31, 2005 with an outstanding balance, owed to Contractor,
in the amount of $16, 865 . 63 .
The Department is therefore requesting that the amount due to the
Contractor be paid. This can be accomplished by the Board of
Supervisors ratifying the actions of the County employees in obtaining
provisions of a value in excess of services rendered. This will create
a valid obligation on the part of the County, retroactively authorizing
all payments made by the Auditor-Controller up to now, and authorizing
payment of the balance.
