Report Title: Novation Contract #74-379-15 with People Who Care Children Association
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Novation Contract #74-379-15 with People Who Care Children Association, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $389,542, to provide Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) Prevention and Early Intervention (PEI) services to the at-risk youth of East Contra Costa County, for the period from July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of this contract will result in annual expenditures of up to $389,542 and will be funded as budgeted by the department in FY 2023-24, 100% by Mental Health Services Act - PEI funds. (Rate increase)
BACKGROUND:
This Novation contract meets the social needs of county’s population by providing work experience for 200 multicultural youth residing in the Pittsburg/Bay Point communities, as well as programs aimed at increasing educational success among youth who are either at-risk or high-risk of dropping out of school, or committing a repeat offense. People Who Care Children Association has been providing MHSA PEI services since July 1, 2009.
On October 4, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #74-379-13 with People Who Care Children Association, in an amount not to exceed $243,790, to provide MHSA PEI services for the period July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2023, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2023, in an amount not to exceed $121,895.
On October 25, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved Amendment Agreement #74-379-14 with People Who Care Children Association, effective November 1, 2022, to amend Novation Contract #74-379-13 to increase the payment limit by $115,701 from $243,790 to a new payment limit of $359,491, with no change in the original term of July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023, and to increase the automatic extension payment limit by $57,851 from $121,895 to a new payment limit of $179,746 through December 31, 2023.
Approval of Novation Contract #74-379-15 replaces the automatic extension under the prior contract and allows the contractor to continue providing MHSA PEI services through June 30, 2024.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this MHSA PEI contract is not approved, at-risk youth from East Contra Costa County will have reduced access to job training and other programs, aimed at increasing educational success.
