RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Novation Contract #24-728-84 with Rubicon Programs Incorporated, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $1,345,200, to provide mental health program services for mentally ill adults in West County, for the period from July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015. This Contract includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2015, not to exceed $672,600.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 48% by Federal Medi-Cal, 52% by Mental Health Realignment. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

This Contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing outreach services for vocational programs, independent living residential treatment services, and rehabilitative day treatment program services for mentally ill adults. These services are a vital and important part of the County’s continuum of mental health services for seriously and persistently mentally ill adults. On July 9, 2013, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #24-728-83 with Rubicon Programs Incorporated, for the period from July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014 with a six month automatic extension through December 31, 2014, for the provision of mental health program services for mentally ill adults in West County.

Approval of Contract #24-728-84 will replace the six month automatic extension under prior contract and will allow the Contractor to continue providing mental health program services for mentally ill adults in West County through June 30, 2015.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, there will be fewer medical rehabilitative programs for mentally ill adults
