SUBJECT:
Title
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO AGREEMENT FOR CONTRACT SERVICES BETWEEN THE CITY OF CARSON AND OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH CENTERS OF CALIFORNIA, FORMERLY U.S. HEALTHWORKS MEDICAL GROUP (CITY COUNCIL)
Body
I. SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to approve an assignment of a contract from the original consultant, U.S. HealthWorks Medical Group, to Occupational Health Centers of California ("OHCC").
The contract was originally approved in early 2017, and in early 2018, U.S. HealthWorks was acquired by a company called Concentra. The City was not formally notified of the acquisition until July of 2019, when Concentra sent the City a letter requesting City consent to assign the agreement to OHCC, a subsidiary or "managed professional entity" of Concentra.
The requested assignment requires City Council authorization. Approval of the proposed Amendment No. 1 would provide that authorization, effective retroactively as of February 1, 2019, which is the date when OHCC commenced performing the services under the agreement for invoicing purposes.
Approving the proposed Amendment No. 1 would allow continued performance of the services under the contract without interruption, and would ensure that the City has proper authorization to make payment to OHCC for services performed commencing as of February 1, 2019.
