CLERK OF THE BOARD OF Auditor-Controller SUPERVISORS AND COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR Contractor M382/7-83 DY ,DEPUTY Novation Contract #24-522-1 Board Order Page 2 III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND: This Contractor has been providing these start-up services under an automatic extension of FY 1988-89 Contract #24-522 which was executed by the County Purchasing Agent effective May 1, 1989. Novation Contract #24-522-1 replaces the six-month automatic extension under the prior contract. Contract #24-522-1 expands the Contractor's responsibilities to include start-up and operation of a Long-Term Residential Program. The Contractor began development of this Long- Term Residential Program under Contract #24-470. These contract services are a vital and important part of the County's continuum of mental health services for seriously mentally disabled adults. The severe need for residential alternatives for adult clients of the Health Services Department is documented in the Alcohol/Drug Abuse/Mental Health Division's Housing Plan. These programs are being developed in order to provide much needed alternatives to more expensive programs such as Merrithew Memorial Hospital and Crestwood Hospitals, San Jose. The Semi-Supervised Residential Treatment Program in the Pittsburg area is expected to be fully operational by April 1990 and the start- up activities for the Long-Term Residential Treatment Program in the Concord area should be completed by June 30, 1990. The Semi- Supervised Program will house from 12 to 16 individuals. The Long- Term Residential Program will provide care and supervision in a licensed residential care facility for six individuals. Without these programs the potential residents will be forced to remain homeless or to wander from one facility to another.
