RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Novation Contract #74–363-12 which includes mutual indemnification with La Clinica de La Raza, Inc., a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $297,644, to provide Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) Prevention and Early Intervention (PEI) services for the period from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022, which includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2022, in an amount not to exceed $148,822.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this contract will result in an annual expenditure of up to $297,644 for FY 2021-2022 and will be funded 100% by Mental Health Services Act. (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

This contract meets the social needs of the County’s population by providing MHSA PEI services to families of Native American heritage. La Clinica de La Raza, Inc. has been providing MHSA PEI services to the county since July 1, 2009.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On November 3, 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #74-363-11 with La Clinica de La Raza, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $288,975 to provide MHSA PEI services for the period from July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2021.

Approval of Novation Contract #74–363-12 replaces the automatic extension under the prior contract and allows the contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2022. This contract includes mutual indemnification to hold harmless both parties for any claims arising out of the performance of this contract.

The contract renewal request was delayed due to pending approval of the new contract language, which has been added to certain contracts to ascertain cohesiveness and alignment with State regulations.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the County will not have access to this contractor’s PEI program.

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 an increase in positive social and emotional development as measured by the Child and Adolescent Functional Assessment Scale (CAFAS).
