Title
Consider recommendations regarding a Renewal Services Agreement for Mental Health Services with Olive Crest for Fiscal Years (FYs) 2024-2026, as follows:
a) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute an Agreement for Services of Independent Contractor with Olive Crest (not a local vendor) for the provision of mental health services to children and youth for a total maximum contract amount not to exceed $1,500,000.00, inclusive of $750,000.00 per FY, for the period of July 1, 2024, through 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 and make immaterial changes to the Agreement per Sections 20 and 26 of the Agreement, respectively; authorize additional services per Exhibits A-3 and A-4; change staffing requirements per Exhibits A-3 and A-4; reallocate funds between funding sources, incorporate new codes and make fee-for- service rate changes or updates and to reimburse on a cost reimbursement basis for Medi-Cal fee- for-service programs, reallocate between contract allocations for the incentive payment, and activate the Contingency Invoicing Plan per Exhibit B; 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 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.
