RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Probation Officer, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Resource Development Associates Inc., to increase the payment limit by $170,631 to a new payment limit of $468,981, and extend the termination date from June 30, 2023 to December 31, 2023, to provide additional consulting services for those impacted by the Medi-Cal pre-release mandate.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract will be funded 64% by Juvenile Justice Crime Prevention Act funds and 36% by an Interdepartmental agreement with Health Services.

BACKGROUND:

Resource Development Associates (RDA) Inc. provides committee consulting services to the Probation Department for the Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council (JJCC), and facilitation and planning consulting services for the development of the Juvenile Probation Consolidated Annual Plan.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Given RDA's background and involvement with the Department, Probation is amending it's current contract to include consulting services for planning and facilitation of the implementation of the Medi-Cal pre-release mandate. RDA will create a consumer engagement process for those impacted by the Medi-Cal pre-release mandate. Contra Costa County Health Services Agency (CCHS) will partner in developing and implementing a consumer engagement mechanism that will involve individuals who are currently incarcerated or have been incarcerated since the onset of new programming to provide feedback on new programming and workflows that have been built in response to the mandate. A Consumer Feedback Committee will be developed to work on incorporating feedback and guide this consumer engagement effort. RDA will facilitate quality improvement sessions for the Committee that are driven by qualitative data from individuals who are incarcerated. A sustainability plan will be developed by RDA with the support of the Consumer Feedback Committee to build in ongoing structures for incorporating consumer feedback into ongoing program improvement in the county. The objective of this project is to have individuals with lived experience guide program design and improvement to ensure culturally appropriate and accessible access to services.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If unapproved, Probation and Health Services will be unable to effectively implement a process for those impacted by the Medi-Cal pre-release mandate.
