RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract Amendment Agreement #74-439-18 with Bay Area Community Resources, Inc., a non-profit corporation, effective January 1, 2022, to amend Contract #74-439-17 to increase the payment limit by $85,516, from $299,236 to a new payment limit of $384,752, with no change in the original term of July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this amendment will result in additional annual expenditures of up to $85,516 and will be funded 100% by Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act revenues.

BACKGROUND:

The County has been contracting with Bay Area Community Resources, Inc., since March 2012 to provide Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment (SAPT) services for offenders referred through the Assembly Bill (AB) 109 criminal justice realignment program in West Contra Costa County.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On July 13, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74-439-17 with Bay Area Community Resources, Inc., to provide SAPT services including, but not limited to, individual and group counseling services for offenders referred through the AB 109 criminal justice realignment program in West Contra Costa County in an amount not to exceed $299,236, for the period July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022.

The delay of this amendment was due to the resurgence of COVID-19 which has created service interruptions, productivity declines and cash flow issues with the community based behavioral health service providers.

Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #74-439-18 will allow the contractor to continue providing SAPT services impacted by COVID-19, through June 30, 2022.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, clients in West Contra Costa County will not have access to this contractor’s services.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This Alcohol and Drug Abuse prevention program supports the Board of Supervisors’ “Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing” and “Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families” community outcomes by providing individual, group, and family counseling; substance abuse education; rehabilitation support services; and substance abuse prevention services. Expected outcomes include increased knowledge about the impact of addiction; decreased use of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs; increased use of community-based resources; and increased school and community support for youth and parents in recovery.
