Fiscal Impact/Change to Net County Cost: Amendment 1 does not change the not to exceed amount of this Agreement. There is no Net County Cost associated with this Agreement.
Compensation for Services: Payments are made to Contractor based upon monthly invoicing at specified provisional billing rates for actual services performed and documented per contract requirements. Services and provisional billing rates are detailed on page 2 of the Amendment.
Reason for Recommendation: This contract provides reimbursement for specialty mental health services to youth served by New Morning Youth and Family Services. While the current Agreement contains a provision allowing the vendor to request an increase in its provisional billing rates to reflect changes in costs (subject to written acceptance of the Health Services Director), we also need a provision to allow a decrease in provisional billing rates should costs be lower than those rates listed in the Agreement or previously authorized by the Director per the terms of the Agreement. Amendment 1 amends the compensation provision to allow both increases and decreases in provisional billing rates.
There is no change in the term of the Agreement, which is January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2010.
Action to be taken following Board approval:
1. Chairman to sign three (3) original Amendments.
2. Board Clerk’s Office to return two (2) original Amendments to the Health Services Department, Mental Health Division.
3. Mental Health Division to distribute as appropriate.
Contact: Neda West, Health Services Department
Concurrences: This Amendment 1 has been approved by County Counsel and Risk Management and a copy is on file in the Board Clerk's office.
