RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #74-222-14 with J Cole Recovery Homes, Inc., a corporation, in an amount not to exceed $960,695 for the provision of residential substance use disorder treatment services for male offenders in East Contra Costa County, for the period from July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this contract will result in budgeted expenditures of up to $960,695 for FY 2022-2023 and will be funded by 33% Federal Drug Medi-Cal ($319,994); 33% State General Fund ($319,994); 18% Assembly Bill (AB) 109 ($164,390) and 16% Local Revenue Fund ($156,317) revenues. (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

This contract meets the social needs of the County’s population by providing specialized substance abuse treatment services so that adults with co-occurring mental disorders are provided an opportunity to achieve sobriety and recover from the effects of alcohol and other drug use, become self-sufficient, and return to their families as productive individuals. The County has been contracting with J Cole Recovery Homes, Inc., since January 2004 to provide residential substance use disorder treatment services for male offenders in East Contra Costa County.

On July 27, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74-222-11 with J Cole Recovery Homes, Inc., to provide residential substance use disorder treatment services for male offenders in East Contra Costa County in the amount of $934,893 for the period from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022.

On February 1, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved Amendment Agreement #74-222-12, to modify rates for residential substance use disorder treatment services for male offenders in East Contra Costa County, with no change in the original payment limit of $934,893, and no change in the original term of July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022.

On May 3, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved Amendment Agreement #74-222-13 to modify the rates for residential substance use disorder treatment services for male offenders in East Contra Costa County, with no change in the original payment limit of $934,893 and no change in the original term of July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022.

Approval of Contract #74-222-14 will allow the contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2023. The delay in the submission of this contract request was due to negotiations between the department and contractor regarding the work plan and budget. After several revisions, the final work plan and budget was mutually agreed upon in late July 2022.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, individuals will not receive alcohol and drug prevention and treatment services they need to maintain sobriety and reduce risk factors.
