RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of County Novation Contract #74-513-4 with Portia Bell Hume Behavioral Health and Training Center, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $3,490,399, to provide mental health services, including case management and crisis intervention to adults diagnosed with Severe and Persistent Mental Illness (SPMI) in Contra Costa County for the period July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020, which includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2020, in an amount not to exceed $1,745,199.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded by 43% Federal Medi-Cal and 57% Mental Health Realignment Funds. This contract includes a 3% rate increase, due to cost of living adjustment.

BACKGROUND:

This Novation Contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing Mental Health Services Act Community Services and Support Program, including outpatient mental health services, case management, crisis intervention, and other mental health services to eligible adult clients in Contra Costa County.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On September 25, 2018, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #74-513-3 with Portia Bell Hume Behavioral Health and Training Center, for the provision of mental health services to SPMI adults for the period from July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2019.

Approval of Novation Contract #74-513-4 replaces the automatic extension under the prior Contract and will allow Contractor to provide mental health services through June 30, 2020.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, County’s SPMI clients in Contra Costa County will not receive specialty mental health services from this Contractor.
