Fiscal Impact/Change to Net County Cost: No change. The Agreement is funded by the Federal/State Social Services allocation (85%) with required County match (15%) met primarily with realignment resources. Funds are budgeted for FY 2011-12, and will be included in the County Budget Requests for FY 2012-13 and FY 2013-14
Compensation: Payments are made to Contractor based upon monthly invoicing for actual services performed and approved by DHS and as documented per contract requirements.
Termination: Agreements include the County's standard Fiscal Considerations termination language as well as a provision for the County to terminate the Agreement without cause in seven (7) calendar days upon written notice.
Background: Pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code Sections 16501-16508, the El Dorado County Department of Human Services (DHS) 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 DHS. Agreement for Services 004-S1211 replaces Agreement for Services 510-S0811 with Progress House, which expires on June 30, 2011.
Reason for Recommendation: 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 DHS 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 DHS 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. Agreement for Services 004-S1211 covers the term of July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2014, with a total not-to-exceed compensation of $1,250,000 during the three-year term.
Purchasing Agent Recommendations. The Purchasing Agent has reviewed the Department's request to enter into this Agreement and concurs that it is not necessary to conduct a competitive selection process, as the services are court ordered.
Action to be taken following Board approval:1. Chair to sign two (2) originals of Agreement 004-S1211
2. Board Clerk to return one (1) original executed Agreement to Human Services at 3057 Briw Road.
2. Department to distribute as appropriate.
