RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County as follows:


1. Cancellation Agreement #74-575-2 with Lincoln, a non-profit corporation, effective on the close of business on February 29, 2020; and

RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)

2. Contract #74-575-3 with Lincoln, a non-profit corporation, in the amount of $2,139,128, to provide mental health services and multi-dimensional family therapy for Seriously Emotionally Disturbed (SED) adolescents and their families, for the period from March 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021, which includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2021 in an amount not to exceed $800,864.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded by 34% Federal Medi-Cal, 58% Mental Health Services Act and 8% Mental Health Realignment Funds. (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

On August 6, 2019, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74-575-1 with Lincoln, Inc., for the provision of mental health services and multi-dimensional family therapy for SED adolescents and their families for the period July, 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2020.

The Department and the Contractor have renegotiated the Contract terms and rates. Therefore, in accordance with General Conditions Paragraph 5. (Termination and Cancellation) of the Contract, the Department and Contractor have agreed to cancel Contract #74-575-1 and enter into a new Contract to include the negotiated rate increase.

Approval of Contract #74-575-3 will allow the Contractor to continue to provide mental health services and multi-dimensional family therapy through June 30, 2021, including a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2021.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, Contractor will not receive the negotiated rate increase and SED adolescents will not have access to mental health services while the County solicited and engaged an alternative contractor. This delay could necessitate higher levels of care for those adolescents.

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).
