RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Novation Contract #74-612-2 with Mental Health Systems, Inc., a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $1,081,886, to provide mental health services including outpatient treatment, assertive community treatment and crisis intervention for eligible adults in central Contra Costa County under the Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) 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 $540,943.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this agreement will result in budgeted expenditures of up to $1,081,886 and is funded by 70% MHSA, 16% Mental Health Realignment, and 14% Federal Medi-Cal revenues. (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

This contract meets the social needs of the County’s population by providing MHSA Community Services and Supports Program, including providing community-based services, personal services coordination, medication support, crisis intervention, and other mental health services to eligible adult clients in Contra Costa County. Mental Health Systems, Inc. has been proving these services to the county since November 2019.

On November 19, 2019, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #74-612-1 with Mental Health Systems, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $1,050,375 for the provision of mental health support services to adults in central 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 in an amount not to exceed $525,188.

Approval of Novation Contract #74-612-2 replaces the automatic extension and will allow the contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2022.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, there will be fewer services provided to eligible adult clients in central Contra Costa County through the MHSA Community Services and Support Program.
