Title

Consider recommendations regarding a Telecare Corporation Mental Health Services Agreement for Fiscal Years (FYs) 2024-2026, as follows:

 

a) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute an Agreement for Services of Independent Contractor with Telecare Corporation (Telecare), a California nonprofit organization (not a local vendor), for the provision of Adult Mental Health services, for a contract maximum not to exceed $13,559,660.00, inclusive of $6,779,830.00 for FY 2024-2025 and $6,779,830.00 for FY 2025-2026, 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 services under the Agreement for convenience and make immaterial changes to the Agreement per Sections 20 and 26 of the Agreement, amend the program goals, outcomes, and measures per Exhibit E, modify the client caseload and amend program staffing requirements per Exhibit A-2, and authorize, in writing, changes to the rates, per the Exhibit B-1 and B-3 and to reallocate funds between funding sources per Exhibit B, 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 per Exhibit Bs, 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 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.
