Subject:Novation Contract #24–928–19 with Fred Finch Youth Center
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
On January 17, 2012, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #24-920-18 with Fred Finch Youth
Center, for the period from July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2012, for the provision of day treatment services for dual
diagnosis adolescents.
In January 2011, the County Administrator approved and Purchasing Services Manager executed, Novation Contract
#74-187-11, for the period from July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2012, for the provision of therapeutic behavioral
services.
On February 7, 2012, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #24–928–18 with Fred Finch Youth
Center, for the period from July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2012, for the provision of school-based day treatment and
mental health services for students in the Mt. Diablo Unified School District.
Each of these Contracts included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2012.
Approval of Novation Contract #24–928–19 combines similar Children’s Specialty Mental Health services, replaces
the automatic extensions under the prior Contracts, and allows the Contractor to continue providing services through
June 30, 2013.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not approved, SED children within Contra Costa County will have reduced access to mental health
services as the County solicits and engages an alternative Contractor.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
This 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).
