Report
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors:
Authorize the Deputy Purchasing Agent for Natividad Medical Center (NMC) or his designee to execute the Second Amendment to Professional and Call Coverage Services Agreement (A-12752) with Bob Peng M.D. to provide obstetrics and gynecological services, extending the term by twenty-four (24) months (July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2019) for a revised full agreement term of May 1, 2014 to June 30, 2019.
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.
