Body
Fiscal Impact/Change to Net County Cost
There is no Net County Cost associated with these Agreements. Sufficient appropriations were included in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2012-13 budget.
Contract Terms
Payments to each Contractor are made within forty-five (45) days following the County's receipt and approval of itemized invoices. These Agreements each contain the County standard "Fiscal Considerations" language, along with the standard termination clause allowing the County to terminate without cause within seven (7) days written notice.
Retroactive Term
MHSA funding for these Agreements was approved by the Board of Supervisors on September 25, 2012, via Board Item 12-1152. The Agreements were immediately drafted and processed by all parties as quickly as possible to ensure sufficient time for the program to be fully implemented by each of the Contractors.
Background
The Primary Intervention Program (PIP) is a school-based collaboration between the county school district and the Health and Human Services Agency, Mental Health Division (HHSA/MHD). The PIP uses evidence-based practices to provide screening used to identify children experiencing classroom difficulties, and provides services for those children that foster resilience and mental health. The PIP was implemented in 2010, contracting with various service providers in the community to participate in the Program since that time. Funding for the PIP ends June 30, 2013, at which time HHSA/MHD anticipates the roll out of new/expanded Children's Programs.
Reason for Recommendation
The Health and Human Services Agency recommends approval of these Agreements to ensure Primary Intervention Program services are provided consistent with the MHSA Plan approved by the Board on September 25, 2012.
Purchasing Agent Recommendations
The County Purchasing Agent reviewed HHSA's request for these contracts and concurs that they comply with Board of Supervisors Policy C-17.
