Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Novation Contract #24-728-85 with Rubicon Programs Incorporated, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $1,345,200, to provide comprehensive case management services to adults suffering from serious mental illness, for the period from July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016.

FISCAL IMPACT:

BACKGROUND:

This Contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing Mental Health Services Act Community Services and Support Program, including outpatient mental health services, case management, crisis intervention, and other mental health services to eligible adult clients in West Contra Costa County.
