RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Novation Contract #74-379-12 with People Who Care Children Association, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $236,689, 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 $118,344.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this contract will result in budgeted expenditures of up to $236,689 and will be funded 100% by Mental Health Services Act – PEI funds. (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

This contract meets the social needs of the County’s population by providing work experience for 200 multicultural youth residing in the Pittsburg/Bay Point communities, as well as programs aimed at increasing educational success among youth who are either at-risk or high-risk of dropping out of school, or committing a repeat offense.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On November 3, 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #74–379-11 with People Who Care Children Association, 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 #74–379–12 replaces the automatic extension under the prior contract and allows the contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2022.

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, at risk youth from East Contra Costa County will have reduced access to job training and other programs, aimed at increasing educational success.
