RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Novation Contract #24-718-4 with Recovery Innovations, Inc., a corporation, in an amount not to exceed $3,671,130 to provide community-based mental health support services to adults for the Service Provider Individualized Recovery Intensive Training (SPIRIT) program, for the period from July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 78% Mental Health Services Act; 22% Mental Health Realignment. (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

For a number of years, County has contracted with Mental Health Consumer Concerns for the operation of Wellness and Recovery Centers in East, Central and West County, as well as, for the organization and operation of the SPIRIT program to provide training to Clients interested in working with in the local mental health service delivery system.

On July 21, 2015, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #24-718-3 with Recovery Innovations, Inc., for the provision of community-based mental health services to adults, to operate the Wellness Recovery Centers in each region of the County and provide support and stipends for clients who attend Mental Health Service Provider Individualized Recovery Intensive Training, including van transportation to the Community centers, as needed, for the period from July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2016.

Approval of Novation Contract #24-718-4 replaces the automatic extension under the prior Contract and will allow Contractor to continue to provide community-based mental health support services including operation of Wellness and Recovery Centers and client transportation services, through June 30, 2019.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the County’s Adult Mental Health clients will not have access to BHSD/mental health community services provided by this Contractor, leading to reduced levels of mental health support and training services throughout the County.
