APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract Amendment Agreement #24-133-71 with La Cheim School, Inc., a non-profit corporation, effective March 1, 2020, to amend Contract #24-133-70, to increase the payment limit by $68,392, from $2,564,684 to a new payment limit of $2,633,076, with no change in the original term of July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020 and to increase the automatic extension payment limit by $102,587 from $1,282,342 to a new payment limit of $1,384,929 through December 31, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This amendment is funded by 50% Federal Medi-Cal and 50% Mental Health Realignment. (Rate increase)

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, Contractor will not receive the negotiated rate increase.

BACKGROUND:

This Contract meets the social needs of County's population by providing school-based services and a residential treatment program which includes mental health services, case management, crisis intervention, medication support and Therapeutic Behavioral Services (TBS) for Seriously Emotionally Disturbed (SED) youth ages 8-21 who are eligible for services according to the Federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) or who are wards or dependents of Contra Costa County Juvenile Court. Contractor also provides TBS to County-referred children.

On July 23, 2019, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #24-133-70 with La Cheim School, Inc., to provide school-based services and a residential treatment program which includes mental health services, case management, crisis intervention, medication support and TBS for SED youth ages 8-21, for the period from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2020.

Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #24-133-71 will allow the Contractor to continue to provide services through June 30, 2020.
