Title
Consider recommendations regarding a Service Contract Renewal with the Salvation Army Drug Medi-Cal Organized Delivery System (DMC-ODS) and Mental Health Services (MHS) for the Alcohol and Drug Program (ADP), Fiscal Year (FY) 2021-2024, as follows:
a) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute a multi-year Agreement for Services of Independent Contractor with The Salvation Army (Salvation Army), a California nonprofit (a local vendor), for the provision of substance use disorder services and mental health shelter bed services for a total Maximum Contract Amount not to exceed $5,450,868.00, inclusive of $65,700.00 per FY in MHS funding and $1,751,256.00 per FY in ADP funding, for the period July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2024;
b) Delegate to the Director of the Department of Behavioral Wellness the authority to make immaterial changes to the Agreement per Section 26 of the Agreement; reallocate funds between funding sources with discretion per Exhibit B MHS and ADP of the Agreement; adjust the provisional rate with discretion per Exhibit B MHS and ADP of the Agreement; and amend the program goals, outcomes, and measures per Exhibit E of the Agreement, all without altering the Maximum Contract Amount and 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 that may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment and are therefore not projects under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to section 15378(b)(4) of the CEQA Guidelines.
