Title
Consider recommendations regarding a contract renewal for Institutions for Mental Disease Fiscal Years (FYs) 2020-2023 with Vista Pacifica Enterprises, Inc. as follows:
a) Approve, ratify, and authorize the Chair to execute an Agreement for Services of Independent Contractor with Vista Pacifica Enterprises, Inc., a California corporation (not a local vendor), for the provision of mental health services and residential treatment services for a total contract amount not to exceed $4,200,000.00, inclusive of $1,400,000.00 per FY, for the period July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2023;
b) Delegate to the Director of Behavioral Wellness or designee the authority to make immaterial changes to the Agreements; reallocate funds between funding sources or programs or agree to rates other than the per diem rates for special circumstances during the term of the agreements as long as there is no change to the maximum contract amounts; and amend the Program Goals, Outcomes, and Measures in Exhibits E of the agreements, all without requiring formal amendment thereto and subject to the Board’s authority to rescind this delegated authority at any time; and
c) Determine that the above actions are government fiscal activities or funding mechanisms, which do not involve any commitment to any specific project which 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.
