DATE; August 18, 1988 County
Approval of Novation Contract 424-463-1 with Phoenix Programs ,
SUBJECT: Inc . for a Dual Diagnosis Residential Treatment Program
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I . RECOMMENDED ACTION :
Approve and authorize the Chairman to execute on behalf of the
County, Novation Contract 424-463-1 with Phoenix Programs , Inc.
in the amount of $63 , 953 for the period February 23 , 1988
through February 28 , 1989 for residential treatment services to
clients referred by County under the Dual Diagnosis Project .
This document includes a six-month automatic contract extension
from February 28 , 1989 through August 31 , 1989 , in the amount of
$30 ,476.
II . FINANCIAL IMPACT :
This contract is funded 100% by Federal funds granted through
the State Department of Mental Health for the County ' s Dual
Diagnosis Local Demonstration Project (under State Contract
487-78350 , as amended ) . There is no requirement for local
matching funds for this grant . This project takes advantage of
existing residential and day treatment programs which are
already being operated by the County and brings in additional
federal project funds to provide specialized services for dual
diagnosis patients in order to establish and demonstrate more
effective treatment methodologies for this unique client popula-
tion which is generally very difficult to treat .
III . REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
This contractor has been providing these dual diagnosis project
services under Contract #24-463 which was approved by the Board
of Supervisors on February 23 , 1988 . Novation Contract
424-463-1 replaces this prior partial year Contract 424-463 and
extends the project through February 28 , 1989 .
In March 1987 , the State Department of Mental Health selected a
Health Services Department (Alcohol/Drug Abuse/Mental Health
Division) proposal for a federally funded demonstration project
to serve young adults with the dual diagnosis of both mental
illness and substance abuse problems . On October 26 , 1987 , the
Department received a "Notice of Grant Award" from the State in
the amount of $139 ,485 showing the National Institute of Mental
Health had approved the project for the period beginning
September 30 , 1987 and ending August 31 , 1988 ._

The grant award also indicates that $149 ,742 will be available
for this project for each of the two remaining project years ,
through February 28 , 1991 .
On February 23 , 1988 the Board approved contract 424-463 in the
amount of $35 , 556 to correspond with the end of the Year One
grant funding. On June 29 , 1988 , the National Institutes of
Mental Health granted a "No Cost Extension" which extended Year
One of the funding cycle through February 28 , 1989 , in order to
allow the project to fully expend the dollars granted for the
first year of operation . (This is a standard practice for pro-
ject start-up with first year demonstration projects . )
Besides extending the contract-term for an additional 6 months
through February 1989 , the Novation Contract adds $28 , 397 to the
initial Payment Limit of $35 , 556 for a new full term Payment
Limit of $63, 953 , representing the new first year of the
demonstration project grant funding cycle . This project con-
tinues to provide residential treatment services in the West
County region to the dual diagnosis target population . Nyumba
Chuki , a facility operated by Phoenix Programs , was chosen as
the residential site because it is an already-existing residen-
tial facility, and it is in close proximity to the County' s
Partial Hospital Program in Richmond , which will be an important
component in the implementation of the Dual Diagnosis Project .
Nyumba Chuki will provide specialized residential services for
up to 12 clients under this contract .
This document has been approved by the Department ' s Contracts
and Grants Administrator in accordance with the guidelines
approved by the Board' s Order of December 1 , 1981 (Guidelines
for contract preparation and processing, Health Services
Department) .
