RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Novation Contract #74–398–13 with VistAbility, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $159,567 to provide Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) Prevention and Early Intervention (PEI) services for immigrant communities, including the Southeast Asian and Chinese population of Contra Costa County for the period from July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023, which includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2023, in an amount not to exceed $79,783.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this contract will result in an annual expenditure of up to $159,567 for FY 2022-2023 and will be funded 100% by Mental Health Services Act revenues. (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

This contract meets the social needs of the County’s population by providing community outreach, home visits to senior housing sites, medication compliance education, community integration skills, older adult caregiving skills, basic financial management, Survival English communication skills, travel training, health and safety education and computer education, structured group activities, and health and mental health system navigation. This contractor has been providing MHSA PEI services to the County since July 1, 2010.

In January 2022, the County Administrator approved and the Purchasing Services Manager executed Novation Contract #74-398-12 with VistAbility, formerly Contra Costa ARC (dba VistAbility), for the provision of MHSA PEI services for immigrant communities, including the Southeast Asian and Chinese population of Contra Costa County, for the period from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022, with an automatic six-month extension through December 31, 2022.

Approval of Novation Contract #74-398-13 will replace the automatic extension under the prior contract and will allow the contractor to continue to provide MHSA PEI services through June 30, 2023.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the contractor will not be able to provide MHSA PEI services to immigrant communities.
