RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Novation Contract #24-925-30 with Lincoln, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $5,799,836, to provide mental health services for Seriously Emotionally Disturbed (SED) students and their families including multi-dimensional family treatment program and school-based services, for the period from July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019. This Contract includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2019, in an amount not to exceed $2,899,918.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded by 48% Federal Medi-Cal, 37% County Mental Health Realignment, 13% Antioch/Pittsburg Unified School Grant and 2% The Tides Foundation Grant. (Rate increase)


BACKGROUND:

This Contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing therapy, medication support, case management, outreach, and crisis intervention services to elementary and junior high aged students in East Contra Costa County in order to reduce the need for out-of-home placements.  
  
On October 17, 2017, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #24-925-29 with Lincoln Child Center, Inc., for the period from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2018, for the provision of school-based mental health services and a multi-dimensional family treatment program for SED students and their families.  
  
Approval of Novation Contract #24-925-30 replaces the automatic extension under the prior Contract and allows Lincoln to continue providing services through June 30, 2019.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, over 200 SED students, in ten East Contra Costa County schools would not have access to mental health services while the County solicited and engaged an alternative contractor. This delay could necessitate higher levels of care for those students.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This program supports the following Board of Supervisors’ community outcomes: “Children Ready For and Succeeding in School”; “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 an increase in positive social and emotional development as measured by the Child and Adolescent Functional Assessment Scale (CAFAS).
