BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
program.
At the time of negotiations with Contractor, which took place during the automatic extension period under Novation
Contract #74-400-4, it was determined by the Division to establish a separate contract to better reflect the intent of
the parties. While the Contractor continued to provide services under the terms of the automatic extension, once the
novation was executed there was no longer funding or contract vehicle to pay Contractor for services rendered in
good faith. Due to lengthy negotiations by the parties, the contract was not processed in a timely manner therefore a
retroactive start date of July 1, 2013 is being requested by the Division.
Under Contract #74-468, Contractor will provide specialty behavioral health services to the LGBTQ-2S community
through June 30, 2014.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not approved, Contractor will not provide specialized behavioral health services to members of the
LGBTQ-2S community.
