RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Novation Contract #74-402-9 with Aspiranet, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $273,184 to provide Therapeutic Behavioral Services (TBS) for children and youth up to 21 years of age with high risk behavior for the period from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020, which includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2020, in an amount not to exceed $136,592.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 50% Federal Medi-Cal and 50% County Realignment Funds. (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

On September 11, 2018, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #74-402-8 with Aspiranet 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, 2018 through June 30, 2019, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2019.

Approval of Novation Contract #74-402-9 replaces the automatic extension under the prior Contract and allows the Contractor to continue providing TBS services through June 30, 2020.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, clients requiring TBS services will not have access to Contractor’s services, which may result in a reduction in the levels of service to the community.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This program supports the following Board of Supervisors’ community outcomes: “Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing”; and “Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families”. Expected program outcomes include an increase in positive social and emotional development as measured by the Child and Adolescent Functional Assessment Scale (CAFAS).
