| Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
When an adult resident of Yolo County (“the County”) with serious mental illness requires care in a locked facility (other than a State hospital), Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) and local hospitals look for available bed space.
This contract has allowed HHSA to purchase dedicated beds at two high-quality, affordable, inpatient psychiatric health facilities (PHFs) maintained by North Valley Behavioral Health, LLC (NVBH). The services are provided by NVBH LLC. PHFs are billable to Medi-Cal and are therefore a more cost-effective option for clients who need this level of care when compared to free-standing psychiatric hospitals. Acute inpatient hospital services at these free-standing hospitals are not billable to Medi-Cal and result in the County using core mental health/realignment funds to cover these costs.
Staff recommends approval of this amendment to cover the remaining claims for Fiscal Year 2020-21.

| Competitive Bid Process |
| The original agreement was procured as an “any willing provider.” This exception was approved by the Board on July 31, 2007. The Board of Supervisors granted approval to the Yolo County Health and Human Services Agency, formerly known as Alcohol, Drug, and Mental Health, for certain exceptions to the contract procurement policy. According to this approval, 24-hour service providers are classified as “any willing providers” and are exempt from the competitive bid process. Fiscal Year 2020-21 was the final year of the agreement under this procurement method. |
