RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee (Donna Wigand) to execute on behalf of the County, Contract Amendment Agreement #24-950-13(7) with Multi-Lingual Counseling, a Non-Profit Corporation, effective October 1, 2009, to amend Contract #24-950-13(6), to increase the payment limit by $620,000, from $100,000 to a new payment limit of $720,000, with no change in the original term of July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2011.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded by 35% State, 61% Federal FFP Medi-Cal Funds, and 4% Mental Health Realignment.

BACKGROUND:

In September 2009, the County Administrator approved and the Purchasing Services Manager executed Contract #24-950-13(6) with Multi-Lingual Counseling, to provide Medi-Cal specialty mental health services, for the period from July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2011. At the time of negotiations, the payment limit was based on target levels of utilization. However, the utilization during the term of the agreement was higher than originally anticipated. Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #24-950-13(7) will allow the Contractor to provide additional services through June 30, 2011.
