BACKGROUND: | ||||||
In November 2006 your Board approved the Alcohol and Other Drug Strategic Plan, “Strategic Directions 2010.” A Request for Proposals (RFP) process was initiated in April 2007 to select providers of treatment services. The RFP called for proposals focusing on specific geographic areas of the County to implement and sustain effective alcohol and drug prevention efforts. The initial contracts awarded as a result of the RFP were for an 18-month period. | ||||||
DISCUSSION: | ||||||
This is one of twelve agreements that will align current prevention and treatment services with the Strategic Directions 2010 plan, and will initiate a quality performance improvement process. The services provided under this Agreement emphasize a developmental approach to making changes required under the Strategic Directions 2010 plan through the provision of a continuum of alcohol and drug services to youth and adults identified as priority populations. This Agreement includes multiple program services and funding sources. The services to be provided include outpatient services, residential and non-residential day treatment and recovery services, and prevention planning or implementation. | ||||||
This 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. | ||||||
