RECOMMENDATION(S):

RESCIND Board action of July 26, 2022, Item (C.92), which pertained to a contract with R.E.A.C.H. Project; and APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute Contract #24-243-77 with R.E.A.C.H. Project, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $1,817,153 to provide drug abuse prevention and treatment services to youth and adults in East County, for the period from July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of these actions will result in budgeted expenditures of up to $1,817,153 and will be funded by 85% Drug Medi-Cal ($1,544,588), 11% Federal Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Set-Aside Grants ($199,855), 3% Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act ($60,710) and 1% American Rescue Plan Act ($12,000) revenues. (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

The County has been contracting with R.E.A.C.H. Project, since July 1981 to provide drug abuse prevention and treatment services. This contract meets the social needs of the County’s population by providing specialized substance abuse treatment and prevention programs to help clients 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 July 26, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #24-243-77 with R.E.A.C.H. Project to provide drug abuse prevention and treatment services at the contractor’s facilities throughout East County, in an amount not to exceed $1,756,443 for the period from July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023.

Due to an administrative oversight, an incorrect payment limit was submitted in the July 26, 2022 request. The requested payment limit of Contract #24-24377 should reflect an amount not to exceed $1,817,153. Approval of today's actions will clarify the incorrect payment limit included in Board Item (C.92) from the July 26th meeting, and allow the Department to execute the contract with a payment limit that reflects the intent of the County and the contractor.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the recommendation is not approved, the prior Board action with an incorrect payment limit will stand and the contract payment limit will not be corrected.
