SUBJECT:
|
Second Amendment to Agreement with El Centro de Libertad
|
|
|
RECOMMENDATION:
|
Adopt a Resolution authorizing the President of the Board to execute a Second Amendment to the Agreement with El Centro de Libertad for alcohol and other drug services increasing the maximum obligation by $40,000, for a new maximum of $4,996,562, 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 other drug prevention efforts. The initial contracts awarded as a result of the RFP were for an 18-month period.
|
|
|
In September 2010 your board approved a First Amendment to the Agreement 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 services, and increase the maximum obligation by $24,200 for a new maximum of $4,956,562. There was no change to the Agreement term.
|
|
|
DISCUSSION:
|
In May 2010 Behavioral Health and Recovery Services (BHRS) issued an RFP for the provision of services for transition age youth provided in a non-traditional behavioral health setting, building on a specific service model, “Seeking Safety.” Seeking Safety is a present-focused therapy model to help people attain safety from trauma/Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and substance abuse. El Centro de Libertad responded with a proposal that was selected for the provision of these services.
|
|
|
|
|
This Second Amendment to the Agreement is now necessary to award $40,000 in funding for the Seeking Safety Program.
|
|
|
The Amendment and Resolution have been reviewed and approved by County Counsel. The contractor’s insurance has been approved by 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, equal benefits and jury service policy.
|
|
|
This Amendment 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 Amendment will complete alcohol and other drug treatment services.
