| Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
Psynergy Programs, Inc. operates Adult Residential Facilities (ARF), Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly (RCFE) and outpatient mental health clinics in close proximity. Psynergy Programs, Inc. has demonstrated that providing reliable adult residential home care in combination with intensive outpatient mental health services can help individuals with mental illness avoid the unnecessary expense and emotional trauma often associated with incarceration and hospitalization. The ultimate goal of Psynergy Programs, Inc.’s services is to improve each individual’s quality of life, to help individuals gain the skills and ability necessary to stay out of locked hospital settings, and to move into a less restrictive living arrangement in the community.
Approval of this amendment will allow the County to pay pending claims for services provided in fiscal year 2018-19 to consumers placed with Psynergy Programs, Inc. |

| County Counsel has approved this Agreement as to form. |
| Competitive Bid Process |
| On July 31, 2007, the Board granted the Yolo County Health and Human Services Agency, at that time known as the Yolo County Department of Alcohol, Drug and Mental Health, an “Any willing Provider” exception to the then County Procurement Policy. This exception provided that 24-hour residential treatment service providers were classified as “any willing providers” and thus were exempt from the competitive bid process. The five-year cycle for this agreement and its underlying procurement will end June 30, 2022. At that time, the County will review the circumstances and determine the need for these services and whether a competitive selection process or single source approval would be appropriate for these services. |
