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 services, and PEI services within certain areas of the County. Historically, contracts for these services in Mendocino County were included in the Specialty Mental Health Administrative Services Organization contract. However, with a change of service provider, these contracts have transitioned to the County for direct administration. In light of this change, the County Behavioral Health and Recovery Services (BHRS) program issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for these services in July 2020. Provider responses to the RFP did not cover all MHSA required areas. BHRS conditionally awarded contracts to vendors in some areas with the intent to issue another RFP specific to areas still needing coverage. After the first RFP, National Alliance on Mental Illness entered into standard Agreement No. MH-20-013, PA No. 20-139 on July 1, 2020 to provide MHSA funded programs in Mendocino County. Issuance of the second RFP has taken longer than anticipated, and Amendments to contracts for these services are now needed to keep services current. The change in service oversight, and lengthy RFP process, impacted the development time of the contract and contributed to the retroactive nature of the proposed Amendment.
