SUBJECT:

First Amendment to Agreement with El Centro de Libertad

 

RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a Resolution authorizing the President of the Board to execute a First Amendment to the Agreement with El Centro de Libertad for alcohol and other drug services for a new maximum obligation total of $4,956,562, with no change to the term of July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2011.

 

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 First Amendment to the Agreement is now necessary to reconcile current services with funds paid during FY 2008-09, change the MHSA funded program service

description, decrease funds available for FY 2010-11 by the amount of $17,456, increase Second Chance Act Re-Entry Services to include outpatient and intensive day treatment, and increase the maximum obligation by $24,200 for a new maximum obligation of $4,956,562. There is no change to the term.

 

The amended Agreement and Resolution have been reviewed and approved by County Counsel.

 

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, equal benefits and jury service policy.

 

This amended Agreement will contribute to the Shared Vision 2025 outcome of a Healthy Community by implementing activities which reduce recidivism among County jail inmates at high risk of re-offending. It is anticipated that 60% of participants receiving services through the amended Agreements will avoid re-incarceration
