DATE: June 30, 2026
TO: Board of Supervisors
SUBMITTED BY: Susan L. Holt, Director, Department of Behavioral Health
SUBJECT: Amendments to Extend the Term of Various Agreements
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
1. Approve and authorize the Chairman to execute Amendment No. 5 to Agreement No. 21-270 with Youth Leadership Institute to continue to contract for Substance Use Disorder Prevention Services and Friday Night Live Program, extending the term by six months from July 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026, which includes one optional three-month extension, and increasing the maximum compensation by $617,684 to a total of $7,711,309; and
2. Approve and authorize the Chairman to execute Amendment No. 12 to Agreement No. 21-212 22-255 with Kings View to continue to contract for a Peer Wellness Center to provide wellness and recovery support services, extending the term by six months from July 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026, which includes one optional three-month extension, and increasing the maximum compensation by $600,000 to a total of $6,600,000.
REPORT
There is no additional Net County Cost associated with the recommended actions, which will allow the Department to extend the term of each Agreement by up to six months and increase the maximum compensation of each Agreement accordingly to continue to provide services until each new Agreement is adopted. This item is countywide.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
There are no viable alternative actions. Should your Board not approve the recommended actions, existing individuals served by expiring Agreements will experience a gap in services.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no increase in Net County Cost associated with the recommended actions. Attachment A includes the contract amounts for the time period of July 1, 2026 to December 31, 2026, the maximum compensation amounts, and funding sources of each contract therein. Each of the Agreements identified within Attachment A will be fully funded by their existing funding sources including Substance Use Block Grant and Realignment. Sufficient appropriations and estimated revenues are included in the Department of Behavioral Health’s Org 5630 FY 2026-27 Recommended Budget.
DISCUSSION:
The Department has released multiple Requests for Proposal (RFP) to renew the existing agreements for the following service types:
• Substance Use Disorder Prevention and Friday Night Live - RFP 26-047
• Peer Wellness Center - RFP 26-045
At this time the procurements process has not been completed for all service lines. Out of an abundance of caution, the Department is requesting to execute amendments to extend the term, and increase the maximum compensation, on each Agreement for a period of three months with an optional three-month extension to ensure uninterrupted services are provided timely to County persons served by allowing the Department to continue to utilize the current contractors’ services as needed while the procurement process is finalized for each Agreement. Furthermore, should a new vendor be awarded for any of the contracts, the additional three (3) months of services will allow for a transition from the current contractor(s) to the new selected contractor(s) without disruption to the provision of services for County persons served. All provisions, terms, and conditions contained in these Agreements that are not amended shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect.
Attachment A includes information for two (2) recommended amendments to extend the term of each agreement which includes original agreement and amendment numbers, dates of previous board actions, contractor names, service description, modality, contract maximum per funding source, reason for extension, and the entire contract term length.
The Department has been working in collaboration with the General Services Department’s Purchasing Division to complete the RFP process for the services and will return to your Board at a later date with the new agreements.
AB339 noticing has occurred and the Human Resources Department approved execution of the recommended amendments.
