Subject:Novation Contract #24–705–57 with We Care Services for Children
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
funding source for services.
On January 17, 2012, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #24–705–56 with We Care Services for
Children, for the period from July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2012, which included a six-month automatic extension
through December 31, 2012, for the provision of wrap-around, day treatment and mental health services for high
risk, delayed or emotionally disturbed children.
Approval of Novation Contract #24–705–57 replaces the automatic extension under the prior Contract 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.
