RACKGROUNDIRF.ASON(,S)FOR RECOMMENDATION(S): On October 7, 2003, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract 426-973-3 with Eugene Kaplan, M.D., a self-employed individual, for the period from September 1, 2003 through September 30, 2005, for the provision of professional Obstetrics/Gynecology services for patients at the Contra Costa Regional Medical Centers and Contra Costa Health Centers. Due to the Contractor changing his legal status contract negotiation took longer than anticipated therefore the formal contract was not renewed in a timely manner. Contractor's services were both requested by County staff and provided by the Contractor in good faith beyond the term of the agreement and by the end of December 2005, charges of$84,066.14 had been incurred, of which $50,000 has been paid and$34,066.14 remains outstanding. Therefore, the Department is requesting that the amount due the Contractor be paid. This can be accomplished by the Board of Supervisors ratifying the actions of the County employees in obtaining provision of obstetric/gynecology services. 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.
