RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Novation Contract #24-723-74 with Neighborhood House of North Richmond, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $364,512, to provide substance abuse residential treatment and detoxification ser-vices, for the period from July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 82% by Federal Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment (SAPT) Block Grant, 13% 2nd Chance Act Assembly Bill 1 and 5% Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration SAMHSA Addiction Technology Transfer Center (ATTC) grant. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

This Contract meets the social needs of the County’s population by providing specialized substance abuse treatment services in a residential setting so that men a women are provided an opportunity to achieve so-briety and recover from the effects of alcohol and other drug use, become self-sufficient and return to their families and community as productive individuals. On December 10, 2013, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #24-723-71 (as amended by Contract Amendment Agreements #24-723-72 and #24-723-73) with Neighborhood House of North Richmond for the provision of substance abuse residential treatment and detoxification services for offenders and adults from Richmond and other communities of West County, for the period July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2014. Approval of Novation Contract #24-723-74 replaces the automatic extension under the prior Contract and allows the Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2015

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, County residents will not receive the substance abuse residential treatment and detoxification services that they need.
