APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County a contract with BHC Fremont Hospital, Inc. (Contract #24–794–12(7)), a corporation, in an amount not to exceed $1,300,000, to provide inpatient psychiatric hospital services for the period from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020.

In June 2018, the County Administrator approved and the Purchasing Services Manager executed Contract #24–794–12(2), as amended by Amendment Agreements #24–794–12(4) and 24–794–12(6), with BHC Fremont Hospital, Inc. for the provision of inpatient psychiatric hospital services to County-referred adults and children for the period from July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019.

Approval of Contract #24-794-12(7) will allow the Contractor to continue to provide inpatient psychiatric hospital services through June 30, 2020.
