RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Novation Contract #74-402-4 with Aspiranet, non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $342,000, to provide Therapeutic Behavioral Services (TBS) for the period from July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016. This Contract includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2016, in an amount not to exceed $171,000.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 50% Federal Financial Participation (FFP) and 50% County Realignment. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

In November 2014, the County Administrator approved and the Purchasing Services Manager executed

Novation Contract #74-402-2 (as amended by Contract Amendment #74-402-3) with Aspiranet to provide therapeutic behavioral services (TBS) to County referred clients that have been placed in group homes in Stanislaus County and to Clients residing in Contra Costa County at facilities throughout the County, for the period from July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2015.

Approval of Novation Contract #74-402-4 replaces the automatic extension under the prior Contract and allows the Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2016.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, clients requiring TBS services will not have access to Contractor’s services, which may result in a reduction in the levels or service to the community.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
