RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County, Novation Contract #74–358–9 with Contra Costa Crisis Center, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $310,685, to provide prevention and early intervention services pursuant to the Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) for the period from July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019, which includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2019, in an amount not to exceed $155,342.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract is funded 100% by Mental Health Services Act. (3% Cost of Living Adjustment)

BACKGROUND:

This contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing a nationally-certified 24-hour suicide prevention hotline that lowers the risk of suicide at a time when people are most vulnerable, enhances safety and connectedness for suicidal individuals, and builds a bridge to community resources for at-risk persons.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On June 6, 2017, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #74-358-8 with Contra Costa Crisis Center for the provision of MHSA prevention and early intervention services for the period from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2018.

Approval of Novation Contract #74–358–9 replaces the automatic extension under the prior contract and allows the contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2019.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the contractor will not be able to provide suicide prevention hotline services to non-English speaking callers.
