RECOMMENDATION:
|
Adopt a Resolution authorizing the President of the Board to execute a First Amendment to the Agreement with Mateo Lodge, Inc. for the provision of residential and mental health treatment services and reimbursement of expenses incurred by Contractor for the Linden Street fire, increasing the maximum obligation by $30,000 to a new maximum of $1,873,469, with no change to the Agreement term of July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011.

BACKGROUND:
|
On June 8, 2010, your Board approved an Agreement with Mateo Lodge, Inc. for the provision of residential and mental health treatment services. For more than two decades, Mateo Lodge, Inc. has provided residential and other mental health treatment services for Behavioral Health and Recovery Services (BHRS) clients who are residents of San Mateo County. Under the B-1 Administrative Memorandum the selection of providers of housing services and related supports for BHRS clients is exempt from the requirement for a Request for Proposals (RFP) process.
|
|
|
DISCUSSION:
|
On November 4, 2010, a fire at 240 Linden Street in Redwood City displaced 40 people with disabilities who are clients of BHRS. Emergency housing and transportation were required to ensure the safe relocation of the clients affected by the fire. Mateo Lodge, Inc. assisted in the relocation of clients and incurred out-of-pocket expenses in its efforts to help. It is recommended that this Agreement be amended to increase the maximum obligation by $30,000 to reimburse Contractor for expenses incurred in provision of emergency housing and transportation of these clients, with no change to the Agreement term.

The Amendment and Resolution have been reviewed and approved by County Counsel. The Contractor’s insurance has been reviewed and 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 and equal benefits.

This Amendment contributes to the Shared Vision 2025 outcome of a Healthy Community by providing residential and mental health treatment services for seriously mentally ill adults. BHRS provides a range of services to promote wellness and recovery and to support consumers remaining in the lowest possible level of care. The provision of residential and mental health treatment services is one established level of care. The services provided through this Amendment contribute to this measure. It is anticipated that 77% of clients who receive services will be maintained at their current or lower level of care.
