Title
Consider recommendations regarding a Behavioral Wellness Mental Health Contract Renewal with PathPoint for Fiscal Years (FYs) 2022-2025, as follows:
a) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute a multiyear Agreement for Services of Independent Contractor with PathPoint (a local vendor) for the provision of mental health and residential supported housing services, for a maximum contract amount not to exceed $7,697,685.00 with an annual amount of $2,565,895.00 for the period of July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2025;
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, make immaterial changes to the Agreement per Section 26 of the Agreement; authorize additional services per Exhibits A-2, A-3, and A-4 of the Agreement, approve of alternative hours of operation and coverage per Exhibit A-4 of the Agreement; approve of Medi-Cal subsidy reallocation per Exhibit B of the Agreement; approve reallocate funds between funding sources or programs with discretion per Exhibit B of the Agreement; adjust the provisional rate with discretion per Exhibit B of the Agreement, and amend the goals, measures and outcomes in Exhibit E, all without altering the Maximum Contract Amount and without requiring the Board’s approval of an amendment to 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.
