Fiscal Impact/Change to Net County Cost: No Change. The Agreement is funded by the Social Services allocation with required County match met primarily with non-General Fund resources. Funds are budgeted for FY 2007/2008 and will be budgeted for FY 2008/2009.
Background: The Board approved and executed Agreement #078-S0711 in the amount of $60,000 on August 15, 2006 and approved and executed Amendment I to Agreement for Services #078-S0711 on July 17, 2007, increasing the maximum compensation to $90,000 and extending the term through December 31, 2007.
Reason for Recommendation: The provision of substance abuse testing and other related services has proven to be a successful tool to improve the lives of families served by the Department of Human Services. Amendment I to Agreement for Services #078-S0711 with Sierra Recovery Center expired on December 31, 2007. Amendment II extends the term through June 30, 2009 with no increase in compensation.
This Amendment is being submitted for retroactive execution as a result of delays in processing necessary to incorporate the Board approved standardized rate structure that became effective January 1, 2008 and the time required to achieve compliance with Purchasing Policy C-17 requirements for contract amendments.
Purchasing Agent Recommendations: The Human Services Department has contracted with Sierra Recovery Center for the provision of substance abuse testing and treatment services on an "as requested" basis for eligible Cal WORKs clients. The Procurement and Contracts Division has processed Amendment II to the subject agreement.
In accordance with Board of Supervisors Policy C-17, Section 7.4.2, the Purchasing Agent concurs with the Department's request to amend this agreement. The amendment calls for standardized rates in the compensation and an eighteen (18) month term extension for a term to expire June 30, 2009. There is no increase in the compensation.
The County Purchasing Agent has reviewed the Department's request to contract with Sierra Recovery Center and concurs that the continued use of this contractor is appropriate in order to avoid an interruption of needed services provided to the clients of the Human Services Department.
The Purchasing Agent has been advised that the Department will let a new contract for the 2009/2010 fiscal year and desires to solicit competitive proposals prior to the expiration of next fiscal year's contracts. The Purchasing Agent has determined that it is appropriate to dispense with any outside review and competitive selection process for services performed by Sierra Recovery Center on the condition that the Department will solicit competitive proposals for these services within the next eighteen months. The Purchasing Agent concurs that the Department's request is in compliance with Board of Supervisors Policy C-17, Sections 7.4.2, 7.5, and 7.10.
Action to be taken following Board approval: Board Clerk to forward two (2) originals of executed Amendment II to Agreement for Services #078-S0711 to the Department of Human Services, Social Services Division at 3057 Briw Road. Auditor's Office to authorize payment of future invoices.
