RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #24–707-63 with Contra Costa ARC, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $1,147,514, to provide wrap-around services including community-based mental health treatment, case management and crisis intervention for children who are Seriously Emotionally Disturbed (SED) in East Contra Costa County for the period from January 1, 2021 through June 30, 2021, which includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2021, in an amount not to exceed $1,147,514.  

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract will result in expenditures of up to $1,147,514 over a 6-month period and will be funded 50% by Federal Medi-Cal and 50% by Mental Health Realignment revenues.








BACKGROUND:

This contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing mental health services for preschoolers with measurable delays in interpersonal, social/emotional, language and cognitive development, and for children who are at risk for such delays, including abused, developmentally delayed, SED and environmentally deprived children who do not meet the criteria for any categorical funding source for services.  
  
On July 23, 2019, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #24-707-59 with Contra Costa ARC, for the provision of wrap-around and mental health treatment services for SED children and their families in East Contra Costa County for the period from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2020.  
  
On March 10, 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved Amendment Agreement #24-707-60 to increase the payment limit by $59,612 to a new payment limit of $2,295,028 with no change to the term. On April 28, 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved Amendment Agreement #24-707-61 to increase rates due to Covid-19 with no change to the payment limit of $2,295,028 or term. On July 28, 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved Amendment Agreement #24-707-62 increase rates due to Covid-19 with no change to the payment limit of $2,295,028 or term.  
  
Approval of Contract #24–707-63 will allow the contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2021.  

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, severely emotionally disturbed children within East Contra Costa County will have reduced access to mental health services as the County solicits and engages an alternative Contractor.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This program supports the following Board of Supervisors’ community outcomes: “Children Ready for and Succeeding in School”; “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 an increase in positive social and emotional development as measured by the Child and Adolescent Functional Assessment Scale (CAFAS).
