SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
California Psychiatric Transitions (CPT) is located in Delhi, California, and is one of a very limited number of Mental Health Rehabilitation Centers (MHRC) that specializes in working with people with severe mental disabilities. This facility provides client specific programs including behavioral adjustment, self-help skills, pre-vocational preparation, and special needs in interpersonal relationships. CPT provides specialized, cost effective services at three (3) levels that meet Behavioral Health clients' needs for immediate placement at a lower level of care upon hospital discharge. This facility is the last resort before a client is placed in a State hospital.
This Agreement was delayed for presentation to the Board of Supervisors because of the lengthy contract negotiations between the County and the Contractor. It is recommended that this Agreement for FY 2013-14 thru FY 2015-16 become effective July 1, 2013 to provide full payment to the Contractor for services provided from July 1, 2013 to present.
This Agreement contains the County's standard 30-day no cause provision (Section IV, B) and an additional defunding provision (Section IV, D), which provides the County the ability to amend or terminate the Agreement in the event of a reduction and/or termination of funding.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
County Counsel, Auditor-Controller, and Risk Management have reviewed and approved this Agreement as to legal form, fiscal provisions, and insurance requirements, respectively. This Agreement is on file with Clerk of the Board.
FINANCING:
