SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION(S):
Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee (Jeff Smith, M.D.), to execute on
behalf of the County, Contract Amendment Agreement #26-561-1 with Nakul Varshney, M.D., a self-
employed individual, effective April 15, 2006, to amend Contract #26-561, to increase the Contract
Payment Limit by $135,360 from $24,420 to a new total Payment Limit of$159,780, with no change
in the original term of March 15, 2006 through February 28, 2007.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This Contract Amendment is included in the Health Services Department's Enterprise I budget.
BACKGROUND/REASON(S) FOR RECOMMENDATION(S):
In March 2006, the County Administrator approved and the Purchasing Services Manager executed
Contract #26-561 with Nakul Varshney, M.D., for provision of psychiatric services including on-call
and call-back coverage for the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center Psychiatric Emergency Room,
for the period from March 15, 2006 through February 28, 2007.
At the time of negotiations, the payment limit was based upon target levels of utilization. However,
due to the retirement of one full-time psychiatrist, the expected utilization was actually higher than
originally anticipated.
Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #26-561-1 will allow the Contractor to provide
additional hours of psychiatric services, through February 28, 2007.
