Report
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors:

SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
In order to meet the scheduling needs of the Labor and Delivery Unit at NMC with over 200 deliveries per month on average, it requires eight full-time OBGYN physicians including employee physicians and community contract physicians. NMC has an agreement with Bob Peng M.D. to provide obstetrics and gynecological services from time to time as needed. NMC wishes to amend the agreement to extend the term by twenty-four months so that Dr. Peng can continue to provide the same services without interruption. Dr. Peng is paid an hourly rate according to the terms of the agreement, although the amount of services provided may increase due to the need for coverage, the rate of pay remains the same. NMC has obtained an independent opinion of fair market value supporting the payment terms.
