SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Chairman to execute on behalf of the
County, Novation Contract #24-337-6 with Telecare Corporation in the
amount of $91,992 for the two-year period from July 1, 1989 through
June 30, 1991 for provision of alternative care placement service for
Contra Costa County geriatric patients. This document includes a
six-month automatic extension from June 30, 1991 through December 31,
1991 in the amount of $22,998.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This contract is County funded, representing the County's match to
State Short-Doyle/Mental Health funds that are expended by the County
of Alameda to provide mental health services for Contra Costa County
residents as part of the County's Regional 302f Buy-Out Program. The
FY 1989-90 portion of the contract payment limit is fully funded in
the Department's FY 1989-90 Budget. The two-year contract payment
limit is established as follows:
$ 45,996 1989-90 Fiscal Year Payment Limit
45,996 1990-91 Fiscal Year Payment Limit
_$_91, 992 Contract Payment Limit
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
On December 13, 1988, the Board approved Contract #24-337-5 which
contained an automatic contract extension from June 30, 1989 through
December 31, 1989. Novation Contract #24-337-6 replaces the prior
contract extension and continues services through June 30, 1991 with
an automatic extension through December 31, 1991. This contract
provides placement services to make necessary alternative care
options available for elderly patients at Garfield Geropsychiatric
Hospital who have physically and/or mentally deteriorated to the
point where they no longer benefit from the intensive rehabilitation
program offered at Garfield. The alternative care options 'offer a
secure, protected environment for our patients who otherwise would
not be accepted into skilled nursing facilities due to combined
medical and psychiatric problems.
