FISCAL IMPACT: Funding for the additional services is covered by the Hospital Enterprise Fund and Mental Health Services Act Funds. BACKGROUND: HGA is currently under contract to provide as-needed architectural services for various health facilities projects. HGA was assigned two projects - a study of the Nutritional Services Facilities and the New Crisis Residential Facility (design services only). With these two projects, the originally approved contract limit of $300,000 has been reached. The proposed New Crisis Residential Facility ("CRF") project involves designing and constructing a facility that will allow for a 24-hour APPROVE OTHER RECOMMENDATION OF CNTY ADMINISTRATOR RECOMMENDATION OF BOARD COMMITTEE Action of Board On: 05/03/2011 APPROVED AS RECOMMENDED OTHER Clerks Notes: VOTE OF SUPERVISORS AYE:John Gioia, District I Supervisor Gayle B.

ATTESTED: May 3, 2011 David J. Twa, County Administrator and Clerk of the Board of Supervisors By: Carrie Del Bonta, Deputy cc: GSD Administration, GSD Accounting, GSD CPM Division Manager, GSD CPM Project Manager, GSD CPM Clerical, Auditor's Office, County Counsel's Office, County Administrator's Office, County Administrator's Office C. 79 To:Board of Supervisors From:Steve Silveira, Deputy General Services Director Date:May 3, 2011 Contra Costa County Subject:Amendment No. 1 to the As-Needed Architectural Services Agreement with Hammel, Green and Abrahamson, Inc. BACKGROUND: (CONT'D) residential treatment program. Such a program is a viable alternative to hospitalization. In addition, the program will provide a transitional level of care for consumers leaving hospitals but needing further assistance while re-entering the community. The CRF would be a 7,200 s.f., two-story, facility that includes space for 16 residents. The facility will also include a living room, a dining room, kitchen, a library, and administration and support spaces. Staffing will include psychiatrists, nurses, clinical specialists, and peer providers (mental health consumers who have completed required training and are employed by the County) and will be in compliance with State requirements for staffing ratios. HGA is currently authorized to provide design services primarily related to the building. In order to complete the design, additional services are necessary for the sitework improvements and the foundation design (there are sloped site conditions that need to be addressed). Moreover, the additional services will include construction administration services during the construction phase. It is recommended that HGA's contract amount be increased by $200,000 to cover the additional services related to the CRF. Any unused balance can be utilized for other projects or remain unused. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: Approving Amendment No. 1 will allow HGA to provide the additional services needed for the CRF. If the amendment is not approved, the completion of the project will be delayed and patient care will be directed toward the County hospital which is more costly. CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT: Not applicable.
