RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Novation Contract #74–358–8 with Contra Costa Crisis Center, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $301,636, to provide Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) prevention and early intervention services, for the period from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018. This Contract includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2018, in an amount not to exceed $150,818.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 100% Mental Health Services Act. (Rate increase)

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 21, 2016, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #74-358-7 with Contra Costa Crisis Center, for the period from July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2017, for the provision of MHSA prevention and early intervention services.

Approval of Novation Contract #74–358–8 replaces the automatic extension under the prior Contract and allows the Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2018.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

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