RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Novation Contract #74-513-8 with Portia Bell Hume Behavioral Health and Training Center, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $3,595,109, to provide mental health services, including case management and crisis intervention to adults diagnosed with Severe and Persistent Mental Illness (SPMI) in Contra Costa County, for the from period July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022, which includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2021, in an amount not to exceed $1,797,554.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this contract will result in budgeted expenditures of up to $3,595,109 and will be funded by 43% Federal Medi-Cal ($1,553,276) and 57% Mental Health Realignment ($2,041,833) revenues. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

This contract meets the social needs of the County’s population by providing Mental Health Services Act Community Services and Support Program, including outpatient mental health services, case management, crisis intervention, and other mental health services to eligible adult clients in Contra Costa County. The County has been contracting with Portia Bell Hume Behavioral Health and Training Center since March 2016.

On January 5, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74-513-7 with Portia Bell Hume Behavioral Health and Training Center, in an amount not to exceed $1,745,199 for the provision of mental health services to SPMI adults for the period from January 1, 2021 through June 30, 2021, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2021, in an amount not to exceed $1,745,199.

Approval of Novation Contract #74-513-8 will replace the automatic extension under the prior contract and allow the contractor to continue providing mental health services through June 30, 2022.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the County’s SPMI clients will not receive specialty mental health services from this contractor.
