RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract Amendment Agreement #74-402-18 with Aspiranet, a non-profit corporation, effective July 1, 2021, to amend Contract #74-402-16 (as amended by Amendment Agreement #74-402-17), to remove crisis intervention services, with no change in the original payment limit of $295,038, no change in the original term of July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022, and no change in the automatic extension payment limit of $147,519 through December 31, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this amendment will result in no change in budgeted expenditures of up to $295,038 and will be funded by 50% Federal Medi-Cal ($147,519) and 50% Mental Health Realignment ($147,519) revenues. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

The County has been contracting with Aspiranet, since July 2010 to provide Therapeutic Behavioral Services (TBS) to children and youth. This contract meets the social needs of the County’s population by providing mental health services to adolescents with emotional and behavioral problems to improve school performance, reduce unsafe behavioral practices, and reduce the need for out-of-home placements.

On December 14, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #74-402-16 with Aspiranet, in an amount not to exceed $295,038, to provide TBS for children and young adults up to 21 years of age with high-risk behavior who have been placed in group homes in Stanislaus County and to Clients residing in facilities in Contra Costa County, for the period from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2022, in an amount not to exceed $147,519.

On February 1, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract Amendment #74-402-17 to increase the per minute billing rates due to COVID-19, with no change in the original payment limit and term. The delay of this amendment was due to an administrative oversight. Crisis intervention services were erroneously entered into contract, which does not apply to this contractor.

Approval of Amendment #74-402-18 will allow the contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2022.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, the contract will include crisis intervention services which the contractor does not provide.
