a) Approve, ratify, and authorize the Chair to execute an Agreement for Services of Independent Contractor with Davis Guest Home, Inc., (not a local vendor), for the provision of an Intensive Residential Program for Structured Mental Health Rehabilitation Services, Residential Care and Room and Board for the period of July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2026; for a contract maximum amount not to exceed $880,000.00 for Fiscal Years (FYs) 2024-2026; inclusive of $440,000.00 for FY 2024-2025 and $440,000.00 for FY 2025-2026;
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; adjust the daily rate to accommodate clients with acute needs, additional monitoring, or medical complexity; increase rates per Exhibit B-1; 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 funding mechanisms or other government fiscal activities, which do not involve any commitment to any specific project that may result in a potentially significant physical 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.
