RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #74-709 with Elite Family Systems, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $255,000, to provide Medi-Cal Specialty mental health services for Seriously Emotionally Disturbed (SED) children and their families in Contra Costa County for the period from July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of this contract will result in budgeted expenditures of up to $255,000 for FY 2024-25 and will be funded 100% by Federal Medi-Cal revenues.
BACKGROUND:
This contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing community-based mental health services focusing on SED children, adolescents and their families which will result in positive social and emotional development at home, in the community and greater school success.
This contract is entered into under and subject to the following legal authorities: Welfare and Institution Code, §5600 et seq. (The Bronzan McCorquodale Act); California Code of Regulations (“CCR”), Title 9, § 523 et seq. (Community Mental Health Services) and California Government Code §§ 26227 and 31000. Health Services Personnel approved this contract to ensure no conflicts with labor relations. This contractor currently cooperates and participates in BHSD’s Quality Management Program which consists of quality improvement activities to improve the quality of care, services and member experience. Cooperation includes collection and evaluation of performance measurement data and participation in the organization’s clinical and service measure Quality Improvement Programs. 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.
Under new Contract #74-709, this contractor will provide Medi-Cal Specialty mental health services for SED children and their families in Contra Costa County, for the period from July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not approved, there will be fewer Medi-Cal Specialty mental health services available for SED children in Contra Costa County as the County solicits and engages an alternative contractor.
