RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #74-535-8 with R.E.A.C.H. Project, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $240,000, to provide substance use disorder prevention treatment services to Medi-Cal eligible County residents, for the period July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this contract will result in annual expenditures of up to $240,000 and will be funded 100% by CalWORKS Alcohol and Other Drugs Services revenues. (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

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. The County has been contracting with R.E.A.C.H. Project, since January 2017 to provide mental health services and substance abuse prevention treatment services to Medi-Cal eligible County residents.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

In August 2021, the County Administrator approved and the Purchasing Services Manager executed Contract #74-535-6 with R.E.A.C.H. Project, in an amount not to exceed $200,000, for the provision of mental health services and substance abuse prevention treatment services to Medi-Cal eligible county residents, for the period July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022.

On April 26, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved Amendment Agreement #74-535-7, effective January 1, 2022, to increase the contract payment limit by $40,000, from $200,000 to a new payment limit of $240,000, with no change in the original term of July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022.

Approval of Contract #74-535-8 will allow the contractor to continue providing mental health services and substance abuse prevention treatment services to Medi-Cal eligible county residents, through June 30, 2023.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

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