Subject:Contract Extension with Rubicon Programs
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Programs in the amount of $130,000 with a term of October 1, 2012 to September 30, 2013.
Because the County got off to a late start implementing this grant, the Probation Department submitted a Grant
Adjustment Notice (GAN) on August 31, 2013 to extended to grant period three months to December 31, 2013. On
November 5, 2013, the Board of Supervisors approved extending Rubicon's contract term to coincide with the grant
term (C.56).
One of the grant requirements was a $750,000 match from the County. The largest part of the match ($335,000) was
the new Probation Case Management System (CMS). Contract negotiations with the CMS vendor have taken much
longer than anticipated and it is necessary to extend the grant term for a second time. The Probation Department
submitted a Grant Adjustment Notice (GAN) on November 25, 2013 to extend the grant period two more months to
February 28, 2014. As a result of the grant extension, Rubicon's contract needs to be extended as well.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Rubicon Programs will not be able to utilize all the grant dollars available to them.
