RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Novation Contract #74–358–1 with Contra Costa Crisis Center, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $292,850, to provide Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) prevention and early intervention services for the period from July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011. This Contract includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2011, in an amount not to exceed $146,425.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 100% by Proposition 63/MHSA. No County funds are required. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

This Contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing a nationally-certified 24-hour suicide prevention hotline that lowers the risk of suicide at a time when people are most vulnerable, enhances safety and connectedness for suicidal individuals, and builds a bridge to community resources for at-risk persons.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On July 21, 2009, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74 358 with Contra Costa Crisis Center, for the period from July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2010, for the provision of MHSA prevention and early intervention services.

Approval of Novation Contract #74–358–1 replaces the automatic extension under the prior Contract and allows the Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2010.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, Contractor will not be able to provide suicide prevention hotline services to non-English speaking callers.
