RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Novation Contract #74-174-21 with Bi-Bett, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $2,461,188, to provide substance abuse prevention, treatment, and testing services, for the period from July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 74% by a Substance Abuse Treatment and Prevention Block Grant; 7% by California Work Opportunities and Responsibility to Kids, 14% by Assembly Bill 109 and 5% Behavioral Health Court Second Chance Act. (No rate Increase)

BACKGROUND:

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

This Contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing specialized substance abuse treatment services so that men and women, including women with children, are provided an opportunity to achieve and maintain sobriety and to experience the associated benefits of self-sufficiency, family reunification, cessation of criminal activity and productive engagement in the community.

On April 14, 2015, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74–174–20 with Bi-Bett for the period from July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2015, for the provision of substance abuse treatment services for County residents.

Approval of Contract #74-174-21 replaces the automatic extension under the prior contract and allows the Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2016.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, persons referred through the Drug Court, pregnant women, and other County clients will not receive drug abuse prevention, treatment, and testing services from this contractor.

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.
