Summary of Request:
Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) Community Services and Supports (CSS) services and Prevention and Early Intervention (PEI) services work to reduce risk factors for the development or severity of symptoms of mental illness. MHSA requires qualified providers of CSS and PEI services within certain areas of the County. The proposed contract covers the Mental Health Services Act, Prevention and Early Intervention component to build protective factors and reduce negative outcomes related to mental illness. The services include education to clients and family members, outreach, advocacy, and support for clients and their family members. Services may be conducted through classes, groups, individual outreach, and the Warm Line.
In July 2020, Mendocino County Behavioral Health and Recovery Services (BHRS) released Request for Proposal (RFP) No. MH-20-003-RFP for MHSA CSS services, and RFP No. MH-20-004-RFP for MHSA PEI services. The awards resulting from the RFPs did not meet all MHSA CSS and PEI requirements for services to all age groups, and did not meet stakeholder driven priorities to continue and expand existing services where possible. As a result, BHRS researched additional vendors able to provide services in areas not addressed by vendors selected from the RFPs.
National Alliance on Mental Illness did not participate in the RFPs, but is able to provide MHSA required and funded PEI, prevention services, in the County, and therefore is selected as an alternate vendor to perform services required by MHSA regulation.
The proposed Agreement took longer than anticipated to obtain signatures, therefore necessitates a retroactive start date.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Return to staff for alternative handling.
