RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County, Novation Contract #74-523-2 with Counseling Options & Parent Education, Inc. (C.O.P.E.), a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $245,863, to provide Triple-P parent education classes and practitioner trainings for the period from July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019, with a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2019, in an amount not to exceed $122,932.

FISCAL IMPACT:

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

BACKGROUND:

This contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing Triple P parent education programming to at-risk families in order to help parents develop better coping skills and improve family communication. Contractor shall also provide trainings and certification services to maintain a qualified pool of practitioners within Contra Costa County.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On July 11, 2017, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74-523-1 with Counseling Options & Parent Education, Inc. (C.O.P.E.), for the provision of Triple-P parent education classes and practitioner trainings, 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 #74-523-2 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, at-risk families will have reduced access to parent education programming and qualified Triple-P practitioners, resulting in reduced levels of service to the community.
