RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Novation Contract #74–358–13 with Contra Costa Crisis Center, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $401,603 to provide Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) Prevention and Early Intervention (PEI) through a twenty-four hour crisis line for the period from July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023, which includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2023, in an amount not to exceed $200,801.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this contract will result in an annual expenditure of up to $401,603 for FY 2022-2023 and will be funded 100% by Mental Health Services Act. (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

This contract meets the social needs of the 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. Contra Costa Crisis Center has been providing MHSA PEI services to the County since July 1, 2009.

On December 7, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #74-358-12 with Contra Costa Crisis Center in an amount not to exceed $389,906 to provide MHSA PEI services for the period from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2022, in an amount not to exceed $194,953.

Approval of Novation Contract #74–358–13 replaces the automatic extension under the prior contract and allows the contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2023.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, vulnerable individuals in crisis or at-risk of suicide will not have access to this contractor's suicide prevention hotline services.
