RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Standard Agreement #24–760–30 with the State Department of Rehabilitation, including indemnification, to pay the County an amount up to $3,503,232, to provide vocational rehabilitation services for individuals with psychiatric disorders, for the period from July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2025.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this agreement will result in an amount up to $3,503,232 in funding from the State Department of Rehabilitation. No County match is required.

BACKGROUND:

This agreement between the County and State Department of Rehabilitation will allow the County to receive funding from the State and enable County clients to participate in comprehensive vocational rehabilitation services that provide them with job skills development, vocational counseling, coaching in job application skills, job development and placement, and follow-up services.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On March 1, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved Standard Agreement #24-760-29 with the State Department of Rehabilitation, to pay the County $1,167,744 to provide vocational rehabilitation services for individuals with psychiatric disorders for the period from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022.

Approval of Standard Agreement #24-760-30 will allow the County to continue to receive funding from the State to provide vocational rehabilitation services for individuals with psychiatric disorders through June 30, 2025. The County is agreeing to indemnify and hold harmless the State for claims arising out of the County’s performance under this contract. Despite the Division starting communications with the contractor regarding the renewal contract in January 2022, this request to the Board is delayed due to the department not receiving the contract back from contractor until June 30, 2022.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this agreement is not approved, the County will not receive funding to support skills development, career counseling, coaching in job application skills, job development and placement, and follow-up services for residents with psychiatric disorders.
