RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute on behalf of the County, Contract Amendment Agreement #74-037-24 with Contra Costa ARC, a non-profit corporation, effective November 1, 2016, to amend Contract #74-037-23, to increase the payment limit by $17,700, from $180,000 to a new payment limit of $197,700, with no change in the original term of January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This amendment is funded 100% CalWORKs funds. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

On March 1, 2016, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74-037-23 with Contra Costa ARC for the provision of mental health services to recipients of the CalWORKs Program and their children, including individual, group and family collateral counseling, case management, and medication management services to reduce barriers to employment, for the period from January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

At the time of negotiations, the payment limit was based on target levels of utilization. However, the utilization and service units during the term of the Contract were higher than originally anticipated.

Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #74-037-24 will allow the Contractor to provide additional service units through December 31, 2016.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, CalWORKs recipients will not have sufficient access to mental health services.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This program supports the following Board of Supervisors’ community outcomes: “Families that are safe, stable and Nurturing.” Expected program outcome is increased number of CalWORKs participants ready to return to the labor force and earn income after they and their families receive mental health services under this contract.
