Subject:Novation Contract #74-452-2 with La Clinica de la Raza, Inc.
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
with La Clinica de la Raza, Inc., for the period from July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014, which included a six-month
automatic extension through December 31, 2014, for the provision of community-based mental health services
including case management and crisis intervention services focused on minority, SED, children in East Contra Costa
County.
Approval of Contract #74-452-2 replaces the automatic extension in the prior Contract and allows Contractor to
continue providing services through June 30, 2015.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not approved, there will be fewer mental health services available for minority SED children in East
Contra Costa County as the County solicits and engages an alternative contractor.
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
