RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract #74-468 with Rainbow Community Center of Contra Costa County, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $420,187, to provide specialized behavioral health treatment services to members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and questioning (LGBTQ-2S) community and their families for the period from July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014. This Contract includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2014, in an amount not to exceed $420,187.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 40% by Federal Financial Participation, 40% Mental Health Service Act (MHSA) matching, 20% MHSA Community Services and Supports.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

BACKGROUND:

This Contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing comprehensive LGBTQ-2S specific clinical services as developed and established through the performance of County Contract #74-400, a MHSA Innovations program.

At the time of negotiations with Contractor, which took place during the automatic extension period under Novation Contract #74-400-4, it was determined by the Division to establish a separate contract to better reflect the intent of the parties. While the Contractor continued to provide services under the terms of the automatic extension, once the novation was executed there was no longer funding or contract vehicle to pay Contractor for services rendered in good faith. Due to lengthy negotiations by the parties, the contract was not processed in a timely manner therefore a retroactive start date of July 1, 2013 is being requested by the Division.

Under Contract #74-468, Contractor will provide specialty behavioral health services to the LGBTQ-2S community through June 30, 2014.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: (CONT'D)

If this contract is not approved, Contractor will not provide specialized behavioral health services to members of the LGBTQ-2S community.

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).
