Subject:Novation Contract #24–925–19 with Lincoln Child Center, Inc.
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
On December 7, 2010, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #24–925–18
with Lincoln Child Center, Inc., for the period from July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011,
which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2011, for the
provision of school-based mental health services for severely emotionally disturbed students
and their families.
Approval of Novation Contract #24–925–19 replaces the automatic extension under the
prior Contract and allows the
Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2012.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not approved, over 200 seriously emotionally disturbed students would
have access to mental health services in eight East Contra Costa County schools delayed as
the County solicited and engaged an alternative contractor. This delay could necessitate
higher levels of care for those students.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
This EPSDT program supports the following Board of Supervisors’ community outcomes:
“Children Ready For and Succeeding in School”; “Families that are Safe, Stable, and
Nurturing”; and “Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for
Children and Families”. Expected program outcomes include an increase in positive social
and emotional development as measured by the Child and Adolescent Functional
Assessment Scale (CAFAS).
