Subject:Novation Contract #24–707–55 with Contra Costa ARC
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
On December 2, 2014, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #24-707-54 with Contra Costa ARC,
for the period from July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015, which included a six-month automatic extension through
December 31, 2015, for the provision of wrap-around and mental health treatment for high risk, delayed, or
emotionally disturbed children and their families in East County.
Approval of Novation Contract #24–707-55 replaces the automatic extension under the prior Contract, and allows the
Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2016.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not approved, severely emotionally disturbed 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).
