Contra 171
FROM:
Mark Finucane, Health Services Director Costa
By: Elizabeth A. Spooner, Contracts Administrator , County
DATE: November 19, 1990
SUBJECT: Approval of Standard Contract #24-576 with Neighborhood House of North Richmond
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, Standard Contract #24-576 with
Neighborhood House of North Richmond, Inc. in the amount of $217,488 for the period
from November 29, 1990 through June 30, 1991 for drug abuse treatment services for
residents of public housing in Richmond (at Las Deltas Housing Development) . This
Contract includes a five-month automatic contract extension through November 30,
1991 with a $116,511 payment limit for the extension period.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This Contract is funded in the Health Services Department Budget by monies from the
Federal Office for Treatment Improvement for Critical Populations subsequent to an
application which was approved by your Board on May 14, 1990. No County match is
required for this program.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
In the Federal 1988 War on Drugs legislation, Congress created a new agency called
the Office for Treatment Improvement within the Department of Health and Human
Services. With limited funding, the purpose of this new office was to improve, not
necessarily expand, drug abuse services.
A May 22, 1990 Board Order approved the development of a proposal that would
respond to the�need for drug abuse services for residents of public housing. That
proposal was successful in obtaining funding by the Office for Treatment
Improvement and is being allocated through the State Department of Alcohol and Drug
Programs to the Contra Costa County Health Services Department. This contract's
funding is reflected in the Department of Drug and Alcohol Program's October 2,
1990 FY 1990-91 final allocation letter (under Federal Category #13.902.)
Implementing these drug abuse services through Contract #24-576 will provide much
needed services to a critical population.
