RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract Amendment Agreement #24-794-15(9) with SJBH, LLC (DBA San Jose Behavioral Health Hospital), a limited liability, effective January 1, 2023, to amend Novation Contract #24-794-15(8), to increase the payment limit by $450,000 from $125,000 to a new payment limit of $575,000, with no change in the original term of July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023, and to increase the automatic extension payment limit by $225,000 from $62,500 to a new payment limit of $287,500 through December 31, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this amendment will result in additional expenditures of up to $450,000 and will be funded 100% by Mental Health Realignment funds. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

The County has been contracting with SJBH, LLC (DBA Behavioral Health Hospital), since October 2018 to provide inpatient psychiatric hospital services to county-referred adults.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

In December 2022, the County Administrator approved and the Purchasing Services Manager executed Contract #24-794-15(8), with SJBH, LLC (DBA San Jose Behavioral Health Hospital), in an amount not to exceed $125,000, for the provision of inpatient psychiatric hospital services to county-referred adults for the period July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2023, in an amount not to exceed $62,500.

Due to a much higher than anticipated number of hospital admissions, there are insufficient funds in the current contract to cover the additional services required for inpatient psychiatric hospital services. Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #24-794-15(9) will allow this contractor to provide additional inpatient psychiatric hospital services through June 30, 2023

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, the additional necessary inpatient psychiatric hospital services provided by this contractor will not be made available to County-referred adults.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This contract 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 increases in social connectedness, communication skills, parenting skills, and knowledge of the human service system in Contra Costa County.
