RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County, Contract Amendment Agreement #74-174-29 with Bi-Bett, a non-profit corporation, effective December 21, 2017, to amend Contract #74-174-26, to increase the payment limit by $599,002, from $4,141,699 to a new payment limit of $4,740,701, with no change in the original term of July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This amendment is funded 44% by Substance Abuse Treatment and Prevention Block Grant, 47% by Realignment Drug Medi-Cal Non-Federal Share, 3% by California Work Opportunities and Responsibilities to Kids, and 6% Public Safety Realignment. (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

On July 18, 2017, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74-174-26 (as amended by Contract Amendment Agreement #74-174-28) with Bi-Bett for the provision of substance abuse prevention, treatment, and testing services for persons referred through the justice system, for the period from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Approval of Amendment #74-174-29 will allow the contractor to increase the rates under the Drug Medi-Cal Organized Delivery Service (DMC-ODS) waiver, which have been significantly low for residential facilities than initially anticipated. Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) approved the rate increase on May 28, 2018 to be retroactive to December 21, 2017.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, persons referred through the justice system will not receive the drug and substance abuse treatment services needed to maintain sobriety.
