RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Amendment/Extension Agreement #72-147-1 with American Medical Response West, a corporation, to amend Contract #72-147, effective October 1, 2021, to decrease the payment limit by $116,231, from $233,816 to a new total payment limit of $117,585 and extend the termination date from August 31, 2022 to September 30, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this amendment/extension agreement will result in a decrease of budgeted expenditures of $116,231 and is funded 100% by State Public Health grants.

BACKGROUND:

The contractor collaborates with Contra Costa Public Health (CCPH) to implement the Choosing Change three-year pilot program. The contractor services include providing education to patients, family members and bystanders involved in 9-1-1 overdose emergency calls on the proper administration of Narcan, distributing Narcan for future use for patients post Narcan administration and for family members or bystanders in high-risk situations, and administer first dose of Buprenorphine to patients in acute withdrawal.   



BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
  
On April 28, 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #72-147 with American Medical Response West, in an amount not to exceed $233,816, to implement the Choosing Change Program, an overdose prevention program, which allows emergency responders to provide opioid overdose medication to patients and bystanders and education services on same for the period from January 1, 2020 through August 31, 2022.  
  
Approval of Amendment/Extension Agreement #72-147-1 will allow the contractor to decrease funds and reduce the amount needed for supplies and eliminate the contractor’s prehospital coordinator position and continue to provide education to patients, family members and bystanders involved in 9-1-1 overdose emergency calls and administration of Narcan and Buprenorphine, through September 30, 2022. This amendment/extension was submitted late by the division due to an administrative oversight.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment/extension is not approved, CCPH will not be able to decrease the payment limit and allocate the State Public Health grant funds elsewhere.
