RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract Amendment Agreement #24-429-59 with Ujima Family Recovery Services, a non-profit corporation, effective April 1, 2016, to amend Contract #24-429-58, to increase the payment limit by $21,532, from $1,710,194 to a new payment limit of $1,731,726, with no change in the original term of July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Amendment is funded 83% Federal Perinatal Set-Aside; 17% Drug Medi-Cal funds. No rate increase.

BACKGROUND:

On August 18, 2015, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #24-429-58 with Ujima Family Recovery Services for the period from July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016, to provide residential and outpatient treatment for pregnant and parenting women and their small children.
At the time of negotiations, the payment limit was based on target levels of utilization. However, the utilization and services units during the term of the Contract were higher than originally anticipated.

Approval of Contract Amendment #24-429-59 will allow contractor to continue to provide additional service units, through June 30, 2016.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, pregnant and parenting women will not receive the alcohol and drug treatment services they need, which may result in perinatal substance abuse and additional risk to their babies.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This Alcohol and Drug Abuse program supports the Board of Supervisors’ “Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing” community outcome by providing parenting education, stability, and safety for mothers (and their children) and pregnant women who are alcohol and drug dependent, while they are in substance abuse treatment. Expected outcomes include delivery of drug-free babies, decreased use of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs, reduction in the number of relapses, and creation of a sober social network.
