BACKGROUND:
|
Since December 1985 your Board has approved resolutions authorizing expenditures for residential care facilities serving mentally ill clients. BHRS has contracted with this provider since 1998 for the provision of specialized residential care for dually-diagnosed adult clients. Under the B-1 Administrative Memorandum the selection of providers of residential services for mental health clients is exempt from the Request for Proposals requirement. BHRS publishes a public notice every year to solicit applications for new providers.
|
|
|
DISCUSSION:
|
This contractor operates a 12-bed board and care facility, which provides supervised housing, treatment and rehabilitation services to assist dually-diagnosed male clients to manage and recover from mental illness and substance abuse problems. The services enable these men to be treated in the community, thus avoiding more costly acute and sub-acute psychiatric hospitalization. The Agreement with this provider is being renewed for a three-year period.
|
|
|
The Agreement has been reviewed and approved by County Counsel and Risk Management. The contractor has assured compliance with the County's Contractor Employee Jury Service 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.

Of that amount, sales tax through Realignment will fund $76,985 and Net County Cost is $9,515. Similar arrangements will be made for FY 2009-10 and FY 2010-11.
