RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Novation Contract #74-405-11 with LAO Family Community Development, Inc., a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $202,012, to provide Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) Prevention and Early Intervention (PEI) services for the underserved Asian and Southeast Asian older adults and their families in Contra Costa County for the period from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022, which includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2022, in an amount not to exceed $101,006.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this contract will result in budgeted expenditures of up to $202,012 for FY 2021-2022 and will be funded 100% by Mental Health Services Act revenues. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

This novation contract meets the social needs of the County’s population by providing MHSA PEI services to the underserved Asian and Southeast Asian immigrant and refugee population in Contra Costa County. These services are aimed to help support older adults and their families by strengthening their communication and positively impacting the health and mental health of program participants. The contractor has been providing these services since July 2010.

In December 2020, the County Administrator approved and the Purchasing Services Manager executed Novation Contract #74-405-10 with LAO Family Community Development, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $196,128, for the provision of MHSA PEI services to the underserved Asian and Southeast Asian older adults and families in Contra Costa County for the period from July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2021.

Approval of Novation Contract #74-405-11 replaces the automatic extension under the prior contract and allows the contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2022.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, effective implementation of MHSA PEI services and support programs will be delayed leading to reduced level of services for the County’s mental health clients.
