BACKGROUND:
This Contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing specialized substance abuse prevention programs so that youth are provided an opportunity to prevent or recover from the effects of alcohol or other drug use, become self-sufficient, and return to their families as productive individuals. The County has been contracting with Center for Human Development, since November 1997 to provide SAPT Primary Prevention Program services for high risk youth.
This Contract is entered into under and subject to the following legal authorities: California Government Code §§ 26227 and 31000. This Contract was approved by Health Services Personnel to ensure there is no conflict with labor relations. The Behavioral Health’s Quality Management, Utilization Management and Contract Monitor Staff meet on a regular basis to ensure monitoring and performance measures in the Contract are upheld. Per Administrative Bulletin 600.3, the Department has posted a continuous Request for Qualifications and maintains a current qualified list of vendors at all times.
On July 9, 2024, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #24-259-75 with Center for Human Development, in an amount not to exceed $720,200, to provide SAPT primary prevention program services for high risk youth, for the period July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025.
Approval of Contract #24-259-76 will allow the Contractor to continue providing SAPT primary prevention program services through June 30, 2026.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this Contract is not approved, County’s clients will not have access to Contractor’s SAPT primary prevention program services, which may result in a reduction in the levels of service to the community.
