Approve seventh amendment to Agreement No. 16-195 with California Forensic Medical Group to add funding in the amount of $130,560.88, for a new contract maximum of $4,083,471.85, for the period of December 1, 2016 through September 30, 2023, for the provision of comprehensive behavioral health services to the detainees of the Yolo County Jail Facilities. 

Yolo County is also mandated to provide effective and quality comprehensive behavioral health services to detainees of the Yolo Jail Facilities. On or about December 3, 2015, HHSA in collaboration with the CAO, Probation and the Sheriff, issued a request for proposal soliciting a provider of professional behavioral health services for the detainees in the Yolo Jail Facilities (“2015 Jail Behavioral Health RFP”).
 
Ultimately, the resulting agreement was awarded to CFMG and thus on or about November 22, 2016, the County and CFMG entered into Agreement No. 16-195 (“Behavioral Health Services-Agreement No. 16-195”) for the provision of behavioral health services at the Yolo Jail Facilities, effective December 1, 2016.

On or about April 12, 2022 the County and CFMG amended the Agreement to add Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) Services. MAT services include the use of FDA-approved medications, in combination with counseling and behavioral therapies, to treat substance use disorders as a medical disorder. The MAT program provides addiction treatment and recovery within correctional facilities. MAT also provides opioid addiction and other substance use disorders in more than 70 correctional facilities.

This seventh amendment adds funding in an amount of $130,560.88, utilizing $112,685.76 in County General Funds (CGF) and $17,875.12 in Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) funding for FY 2023-24.

A formal solicitation via an RFP was released in FY 2022-23. HHSA believes it is the best interest of the County to extend this agreement based on satisfactory service and to avoid the interruption of County business while final negotiations are to be completed for a new agreement to be awarded.

Performance Measures included in this Agreement are as follows:

Department of General Services, Procurement Division

On December 3, 2015, the County issued a formal solicitation via the 2015 Jail Behavioral Health RFP soliciting professional behavioral health services for the inmates in Yolo County Jail and JDF. A review panel composed of representatives from HHSA, Probation, Sheriff, the County Administrator’s Office and an outside agency evaluated the proposals that were received in repose to the 2015 Jail Behavioral Health RFP. The proposal submitted by CFMG was adjudged the strongest out of all submissions and CFMG was awarded a contract.

HHSA Confirms CFMG has performed satisfactorily on the current agreement. Thus, pursuant to the authority provided to the Yolo County Procurement Manager as the Yolo County Purchasing Agent under the current Yolo County Procurement Policy, the Procurement Manager has determined that it is in the best interest of the County to extend this Agreement, based on satisfactory service and to avoid the interruption of County business. A formal solicitation for these services was released in FY 2022-23. Currently, there is a targeted contract start date of October 1, 2023.
