a) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute a three-year Support and Maintenance Agreement with Echo Consulting Services of California, Inc., a New Hampshire corporation (not a local vendor), for the continued provision of technical support and maintenance to the ShareCare product and to other ancillary software interfaces, for a total Maximum Contract Amount not to exceed $680,232.00, inclusive of Support and Maintenance Fees not to exceed $186,104.00 for FY 2021-2022, $191,688.00 for FY 2022-2023, $197,440.00 for FY 2023-2024; and a Contingency Fund for State Mandated Updates and other County-requested modifications not to exceed $35,000.00 per FY, for the period of July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2024;
b) Delegate to the Director of the Department of Behavioral Wellness or designee the authority to suspend, delay, or interrupt 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, all without requiring formal 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 which may result in 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.
