RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract Amendment Agreement #24-979-31 with Addiction Research and Treatment, Inc. (dba Bay Area Addiction Research and Treatment), a corporation, effective April 1, 2016, to amend Contract #24-979-29, to increase the payment limit by $240,503, from $5,437,641 to a new payment limit of $5,678,144, with no change in the original term of July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Amendment is funded 50% Federal Drug Medi-Cal; 50% State Drug Medi-Cal (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

On July 7, 2015, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #24-979-29 with Addiction Research and Treatment, Inc. (dba Bay Area Addiction Research and Treatment), for the period from July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016, for the provision of methadone treatment services through its Methadone Maintenance Clinics Program (Medi-Cal Drug Abuse Treatment Services) in East and West County.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

At the time of negotiations, the payment limit was based on target levels of utilization. However, the utilization during the term of the Contract was higher than originally anticipated.

Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #24-979-31 will allow the Contractor to provide additional services through June 30, 2016.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, adults in Contra Costa County will not receive the specialized substance abuse treatment services needed to provide them an opportunity to achieve sobriety and recover from the effects of alcohol and other drug abuse, become self-sufficient, and return to their families as productive individuals.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
