RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Novation Contract #24-958-22, with Rubicon Programs Incorporated, a non-profit organization, in an amount not to exceed $110,000, to provide mental health services for CalWORKs clients, for the period from July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015. This contract includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2015, in an amount not to exceed $55,000.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 100% CalWORKs funds. (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

In February 2014, County Administrator approved and Purchasing Services Manager executed Contract #24-958-20, (as amended by Contract Amendment #24-958-21), with Rubicon Programs Incorporated, for the period from July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2014, for the provision of mental health services to recipients of the CalWORKs Program and their children, including individual, group and family collateral counseling, case management, and medication management services to reduce barriers to employment.

Approval of Novation Contract #24-958-22 will replace the automatic extension under prior contract and allow the Contractor to continue to provide mental health services to CalWORKs recipients through June 30, 2015.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, CalWORKs recipients will not have sufficient access to the children’s mental health services they need.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not Applicable
