TO: Board of Supervisors
SUBMITTED BY: Dawan Utecht, Director, Department of Behavioral Health
SUBJECT: Master Agreement with Licensed Residential Facilities for Adult Transitional Social Rehabilitation Program Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
1. Make a finding that it is in the best interest of the County to waive the competitive bidding process consistent with Administrative Policy No. 34 under the "unusual or extraordinary circumstances" provision for the delivery of services with licensed residential facilities for Adult Transitional Social Rehabilitation Program for persistent and severely mentally ill adult individuals.
2. Approve and authorize the Chairman to execute a Master Agreement with licensed residential facilities for Adult Transitional Social Rehabilitation Program services for persistent and severely mentally ill adult individuals, effective July 1, 2020, not to exceed five consecutive years, which includes a three-year base contract and two optional one-year extensions, total not to exceed $11,844,000.
3. Authorize the Department of Behavioral Health Director or designee to add and/or delete facilities for Transitional Social Rehabilitation Program services.
REPORT
Approval of the recommended actions will allow the Department of Behavioral Health to continue to provide a less restrictive level of care to persistent and severely mentally ill adult clients through the utilization of licensed facilities that are certified to provide residential Transitional Social Rehabilitation Program (TSRP) services. The facilities provide services that are designed to minimize the risk of client hospitalizations and assist clients with the development of independent living skills with the goal of movement toward a less structured setting. Approval of the third recommended action will allow the Director of the Department to add or delete licensed TSRP Facilities to the recommended Master Agreement with no net County cost.
