BACKGROUND:

The Behavioral Health Services Department (BHSD) has been contracting with California Psychiatric Transitions Incorporated since October 2001 to provide residential care and mental health services to adults. This Contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing a multi-disciplinary treatment program to adults who need active psychiatric treatment, including medication support and individual and group therapy services, as an alternative to hospitalization at a State Hospital.

 

This Contract is entered into under and subject to the following legal authorities: Welfare and Institutions Code §§ 5600, et seq. (The Bronzan McCorquodale Act); California Code of Regulations (“CCR”), Title 9, §§ 523, et seq. (Community Mental Health Services); 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. These contracted services were determined to be exempt from Administrative Bulletin 600.3 solicitation requirements by the Public Works Department’s Purchasing Division.

Approval of Contract #74-143-37 will allow the Contractor to provide residential adult residential care and mental health care and rehabilitation services for mentally ill adults through August 31, 2025.  This Contract is delayed due to extended negotiations between Contractor and Division.
