RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Novation Contract #74–414-4 with Young Men’s Business Association of the East Bay, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $94,200, to provide Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) Prevention and Early Intervention (PEI) services to three-hundred multi-cultural youth through the James Morehouse Project for the period from July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016. This Contract includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2016, in an amount not to exceed $47,100.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 100% by Mental Health Services Act (MHSA). (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

This Contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing improved access to health care, education, mental health and suicide prevention to more than 1,000 residents from diverse households in the Iron Triangle neighborhood of Richmond. In October 2014, the County Administrator approved and the Purchasing Services Manager executed, Contract #74-414-4 with Young Men’s Christian Association of the East Bay (now known as Young Men’s Business Association of the East Bay), for the period from July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2015, for the provision of MHSA PEI services. Approval of Novation Contract #74–414-5 replaces the automatic extension under the prior Contract and allows Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2016, including modifications to County’s standard indemnification provision.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, Residents of Richmond’s Iron Triangle will not receive the PEI services to influence factors that bear upon the healthy development and education of children from the community and improve community participation in education and health promotion, health protection, and violence prevention efforts.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This MHSA-PEI program supports the following Board of Supervisors’ community outcomes: “Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing”; and “Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families”. Expected program outcomes include increases in social connectedness, communication skills, parenting skills, and knowledge of the human service system in Contra Costa County.
