SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Health Services Director or his designee (Chuck Deutschman)
to execute on behalf of the County, Contract #24-546-1 with Bay Area Addiction
Research and Treatment, Inc. (BAART) in the amount of $218,206 for the period
September 30, 1990 through June 30, 1991 for methadone maintenance treatment and
counseling services for IV Drug Abusing Clients at risk for contracting AIDS in East
and West County. This Contract includes a three-month automatic contract extension
from June 30, 1991 through September 30, 1991 in the amount of $72,735.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This contract is funded by Federal funds (Fed. Cat. #13.992) and does not require
County matching funds.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
Bay Area Addiction Research and Treatment, Inc. has provided methadone maintenance
services in East and West Contra Costa County since March 1988. The 1989 Federal
Waiting List Reduction Grant funding enabled the contractor to provide expanded
methadone maintenance services to eligible Richmond, West Pittsburg, and Pittsburg
residents who had applied for participation in the program, but who had been placed
on the program's waiting list. The Federal Waiting List Reduction Grant funding for
this project ended on September 29, 1990. However, additional Federal Block Grant
funding has been allocated to allow this project, for IV drug abusing clients who are
at risk for contracting AIDS, to be continued through June 30, 1991.
This Contract maintains 75 treatment slots in the Richmond Methadone Maintenance
Program and 75 treatment slots in the Pittsburg Methadone Maintenance Program which
were created under the Federal Waiting List Reduction Grant Project.
