Approve agreement with RG Legacy II, LLC dba Pasadena Nursing Center in the amount of $1,139,676 for the period of April 1, 2025 through June 30, 2028 for the provision of 24-hour supervised clinical and nursing care services to long-term consumers with severe mental illness (SMI).

On April 24, 2025, County’s Deputy Director of GSD/Manager of Procurement/County Purchasing Agent (Purchasing Agent) approved a sole/single source procurement for these services, based on a determination the proposed costs are fair/reasonable and consistent with the cost of other social rehabilitation programs across the state. Furthermore, Pasadena Nursing Center has demonstrated the capacity and willingness to serve clients who would otherwise, be placed in state hospitals such as Napa & Metro, which represent the County’s highest-cost mental health service options. Without sole source approval, the County would be limited in its ability to identify and place clients quickly into facilities offering this appropriate level of care, and in some cases would be unable to meet federally mandated standards regarding the provision of care for consumers. Factors considered, included but were not limited to: 1) Pasadena Nursing Center is willing to accept behaviorally challenged clients languishing in inpatient hospital settings who are no longer acute but cannot be placed.; 2) Their programs are designed to attain the highest practicable physical, mental and psychosocial well-being of each resident in a timely and cost-effective manner.; 3) Pasadena Nursing Center price is fair and reasonable and reflective of the cost of other social rehabilitation programs across the state.
