Background: Progress House provides Alcohol/Drug Treatment Services to the County for the Substance Abuse Offender Treatment Program (OTP). The original Agreement for Services signed by the Purchasing Agent on January 7, 2008, included the recently approved Standardized Rate Structure with detailed rates for payment of standard services. There are specified services that are performed through this Agreement that were not included in the standard rates adopted by the Board of Supervisors. Those services, such as payment for attendance at Drug Court sessions, will be added in this Amendment.
Reason for Recommendation: This Amendment reflects the addition of specified services and rates previously not included in the Standardized Rates adopted by the Board, and includes an additional $49,000.00 for a total not to exceed amount of $99,000.00. The original contract was established with a not to exceed amount of $50,000 in order to expedite processing to ensure the contract was in place prior to services being provided. This amendment adds FY 2007-08 OTP grant funding not previously allocated to the non-profits, and increases the Progress House OTP funding to $99,000.
Amendment I, Article III Compensation for Services includes compensation changes as follows:
Specified services are to be billed by unit of service at fixed rates. Costs shall be reconciled annually in the Cost Report, as described in Article IX of this Agreement. The fixed rates payable under this Agreement are as follows:
Attendance at Case Mgt. Conference (1/2 hour) $13.33
Attendance at Prop 36 Drug Court Session (1 hour) $26.67
*Ancillary services, including other non-standard alcohol and drug treatment services: The amount preauthorized by County Referral Team.
Action to be taken following Board approval: Chair to sign three (3) copies of the amendment; Board Clerks Office to return two (2) copies of amendment to Public Health; Public Health to distribute as appropriate.
