RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County, Novation Contract #24-958-26 with Rubicon Programs Incorporated, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $149,350, to provide mental health services for CalWORKs clients for the period July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019, which includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2019, in an amount not to exceed $74,675.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract is funded 100% by CalWORKs funds. (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

On July 18, 2017, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #24-958-25, with Rubicon Programs Incorporated, to provide mental health services to recipients of the CalWORKs Program and their children, including individual, group and family collateral counseling and case management services to reduce barriers to employment, for the period from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2018.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Approval of Novation Contract #24-958-26 will replace the automatic extension under prior contract and allow the contractor to continue to provide mental health services to CalWORKs recipients through June 30, 2019.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, CalWORKs recipients will not have sufficient access to the mental health services they need.
