BACKGROUND:
|
The Human Services Agency’s Division of Alcohol and Other Drug Services (AOD) was awarded a thirty-six month United States Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) CSAT grant in the amount of $1,196,055 to fund the Coastside Project in the City of Half Moon Bay. This Agreement represents the portion of CSAT funding that is dedicated to evaluation services. The Board of Supervisors approved the funding award on January 10, 2006.
|
|
|
DISCUSSION:
|
The grant project will expand services on the Coastside in Half Moon Bay in three (3) critical evidence based practice areas: Motivational Enhancement Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Outpatient Treatment. A total of one hundred seventy four (174) men and women will be served over the life of the grant. Ninety-six (96) families will participate in family education groups and seventy eight (78) people will participate in continuing care activities. The evaluation services provided by UCSF pursuant to this Agreement will be utilized to determine if the outcomes targeted in the funding proposal to the United States DHHS/CSAT are achieved. This Agreement is for a forty two (42) month period beginning August 15, 2005 and ending February 14, 2009. The additional unpaid time (6 months) is needed after the grant term ends for the Contractor to complete the required evaluation.
It is in the best interest of the County to waive the RFP process based on the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) Coastside Project Grant Number 1 H79 TI 17317 identifying UCSF as the grant evaluator.
The Agreement was delayed due to the length of time needed in negotiating program and contract deliverables.
The Contractor has assured compliance with the County’s Contractor Employee Jury Ordinance, as well as all other contract provisions that are required by County ordinance and administrative memoranda, including but not limited to insurance, hold harmless, non-discrimination and equal benefits.

FISCAL IMPACT:
