Background: Pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code Sections 16501-16508, the County of El Dorado Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) is required to provide services that promote reunification of children and families in the County's Child Protective Services Program. Progress House provides these mandated services on an "as requested" basis for clients referred by HHSA .
The provision of therapeutic counseling, classes, substance abuse testing and treatment, residential treatment and transitional housing services and other related services continue to prove to be a successful tool for promoting reunification of families served by the HHSA Child Protective Services Program. Contracting out to local vendors continues to be the most efficient and cost effective method of delivering these services to eligible HHSA clients. Services are accessed on an "as requested" basis and are provided in accordance with case plans authorized by the El Dorado County Superior Court system.
Reason for Recommendation: Amendment I amends Article III - Compensation for Services, to correct rates for services that were inadvertently misstated, retroactive to July 1, 2011, the start date of the Agreement. Article II - Term, Article VII - Nondiscrimination, Article X - Debarment and Suspension Certification and Article XXIV - Insurance, were amended to conform to current County language. There are no changes to the $1,250,000 not-to-exceed amount of the Agreement or the July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2014 term of the Agreement.
Purchasing Agent Recommendations: The County Purchasing Agent has reviewed the Agency's request to amend this Agreement and concurs that it is in compliance with Board of Supervisors Policy C-17.
