RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract Amendment Agreement #24–707-60 with Contra Costa ARC, a non-profit corporation, effective March 1, 2020, to amend Novation Contract #24-707-59, to increase the payment limit by $59,612, from $2,235,416 to a new payment limit of $2,295,028, with no change in the term of July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020, and to increase the automatic extension payment limit by $89,417, from $1,117,708 to a new payment limit of $1,207,125 through December 31, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

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

BACKGROUND:

This Contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing mental health services for preschoolers with measurable delays in interpersonal, social/emotional, language and cognitive development, and for children who are at risk for such delays, including abused, developmentally delayed, SED and environmentally deprived children who do not meet the criteria for any categorical funding source for services.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On July 23, 2019, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #24-707-59 with Contra Costa ARC, for the provision of wrap-around and mental health treatment services for SED children and their families in East Contra Costa County for the period from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2020.

Approval of Amendment #24–707-60 will allow Contractor to continue to provide services through June 30, 2020.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

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

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).
