RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Novation Contract #74–358–10 with Contra Costa Crisis Center, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $330,591, to provide Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) prevention and early intervention services through a twenty-four hour crisis line for the period from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020, which includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2020, in an amount not to exceed $165,296.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 100% by Mental Health Services Act. (3% Cost of Living Adjustment)

BACKGROUND:

This Contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing a nationally-certified 24-hour suicide prevention hotline that lowers the risk of suicide at a time when people are most vulnerable, enhances safety and connectedness for suicidal individuals, and builds a bridge to community resources for at-risk persons.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On May 1, 2018, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #74-358-9 with Contra Costa Crisis Center to provide MHSA prevention and early intervention services 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 #74–358–10 replaces the automatic extension under the prior Contract and allows the Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2020.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, Contractor will not be able to provide suicide prevention hotline services to non-English speaking callers.
