1996 through June 30, 1997 (with a six-month automatic extension
through December 31, 1997) for the provision of subacute care for
County residents who are severely and persistently mentally ill
(SPMI) .
During the term of the contract, services were requested as needed
by County staff and provided by the Contractor in good faith. A
decrease in County beds at the Napa State Hospital. level of care
resulted in an increase in the utilization of beds at the
Contractor' s Villa Fairmont Mental Health Center, Garfield Mental
Health Center and Gladman Psychiatric Health Facility. However, the
Department neglected to process a formal Contract Amendment
Agreement to increase the Contract Payment Limit .
Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #24-680-5 will reform the
Contract to make the formal Contract consistent with the oral
agreement which was negotiated with the Contractor.
