Consider recommendations regarding Fiscal Years 2023-2026 Agreement with HumanGood NorCal dba Valle Verde Retirement Home, as follows:
a) Approve and ratify the Chair to execute an Agreement for Services of Independent Contractor with HumanGood NorCal, a California public benefit corporation, dba Valle Verde (a local vendor) for the provision of meals and dietary services for the Psychiatric Health Facility and Crisis Stabilization Unit, for a contract amount not to exceed $156,000.00 per Fiscal Year and for total contract amount not to exceed $468,000.00 for the period July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2026;
b) Delegate to the Director of the Department of Behavioral Wellness or designee the authority to suspend, delay, or interrupt the services under the Agreement for convenience per Section 20 of the Agreement and make immaterial changes to the Agreement per Section 26 of the Agreement, and amend the program goals, outcomes, and measures per Exhibit E, all without altering the maximum contract amount and without requiring the Board’s approval of an amendment of the Agreement, subject to the Board’s ability to rescind this delegated authority at any time; and
c) Determine that the above actions are government fiscal activities or funding mechanisms that do not involve any commitment to any specific project, which may result in a potentially significant impact on the environment and are therefore not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to section 15378(b)(4) of the CEQA guidelines.
