920 Grand Avenue, San Rafael

Adult Transitional Residential Program

RFP-HHS-2020-24

I. Background

The Marin County Board of Supervisors approved the concept for the property at 920 Grand Avenue, San Rafael to be redeveloped for a 16 bed Adult Transitional Residential Treatment Program. The Adult Transitional Residential Treatment Program provides residential support to individuals (from three months to a year) appropriate for maintaining stability and working on long-term recovery goals. Clients are fully integrated into household life and, where appropriate, also participate in job-training, school, work, or day treatment programs. The ultimate goals for this program include developing critical social skills and coping strategies, finding housing, and securing ongoing services and supports in preparation for discharge from the program.

Having a local Adult Transitional Residential Treatment facility is projected to help improve outcomes, as well as:

• Reduce strain on family members living in Marin who need to travel significant distances out of county to see their loved ones—typically without any public transportation options;

• Improve outcomes for clients, allowing them to smoothly and quickly transition from higher levels of care back to the community; and

• Reduce out-of-county placements and allow for reimbursement of some costs through Medi-Cal and other sources.

The 920 Grand Avenue building is owned by the County of Marin. The facility is currently partially occupied for office use purposes by the Department of Health and Human Services. The site is in an urban, downtown area. The facility was originally constructed in 1952-53 and renovated in 1973. The lot size is 11,980 square feet (0.275 acres), with approximately 5,720 of usable square footage.

The County is at the initial stage of determining the facility requirements and creating a community coordination plan for the City of San Rafael and surrounding neighborhood. This proposed project will require the final approval of the Board of Supervisors.

WITNESSETH WHEREAS, the County of Marin, along with other local cities in Marin County, supports a welcoming, residential support program to individual clients (from three months to a year) appropriate for maintaining stability and working on long-term goals, where clients are fully integrated into household life and, where appropriate, also participate in job-training, school, work, or day treatment programs; and WHEREAS, the County of Marin, along with other local cities in Marin County, supports the ultimate goals for this program which include developing critical social skills and coping strategies, finding housing, and securing ongoing services and supports in preparation for discharge from the program; and WHEREAS, the County of Marin currently has no residential support program to serve mental health clients with co-occurring substance abuse disorders (“dual diagnosis clients”) within its borders, resulting in clients being sent out-of-county to receive critical services; and WHEREAS, the County of Marin finds it is in the County’s and the general public’s best interest to provide localized treatment and services to mental health clients; and WHEREAS, the County of Marin is required, pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code Sections 5600 et seq, to provide residential treatment for mental health clients; and WHEREAS, having a County-owned Transitional Residential Treatment Facility will provide the County with significantly more control over costs and save County resources, including travel costs associated with staff who previously had to travel out of county to provide these services; and WHEREAS, having a County-owned Transitional Residential Treatment Facility will reduce County expenditures on out-of-county placements and the associated additional costs while supporting improved client access to necessary support systems within Marin County and improving quality of life for both the residents and their families; and WHEREAS, having a County-owned Transitional Residential Treatment Facility dedicated to service co-occurring SMI clients will allow for the County to be reimbursed for services by billing Medi-Cal and receiving Social Security revenue, neither of which the County is able to utilize with the current process of placing clients out-of-county in contracted beds; and WHEREAS, under the current system, in which the County must place dual diagnosis clients out-of-county for residential support services, the County faces skyrocketing costs due to a regional increase in demand for beds and a limited supply of beds; and WHEREAS, the County faces additional costs when placing clients out-of-county that could be avoided with a local residential support program, including the costs of ambulance rides to and from placements and additional case management costs associated with overseeing caseloads across northern California; and

WHEREAS, a County-owned Transitional Residential Treatment Facility would avoid the unnecessary strain placed on clients and family members due to out-of-county placements, including the burden on families to visit clients out-of-county and the strain on clients who often have better outcomes and higher quality of life when kept closer to home, allowing them to more smoothly and quickly transition from residential placements back to the community; and WHEREAS, Provider currently operates a Transitional Residential Treatment Program for adults with Serious Mental Illness and co-occurring substance use disorders (“Transitional Program”) located ________________________________________; and WHEREAS, Provider was selected through a competitive Request for Proposal process (“RFP”) administered by the Department of Health and Human Services, via RFP-HHS-2020-24”; and WHEREAS, Government Code Section 25371 authorizes the Board of Supervisors of the County to grant a leasehold interest to Provider to rehabilitate 920 Grand Avenue that can accommodate a 14-16 bed Transitional Residential Treatment Transitional Program (“Improvements”) to be necessary to meet the social needs of the population of the County, including, but not limited to, the areas of health, welfare and the needs of physically, mentally and financially handicapped persons; and WHEREAS, the County of Marin is required pursuant to state contracts to provide services that include, but are not limited to, a full continuum of behavioral health care services, including but not limited to residential, intensive outpatient treatment, outpatient, medication assisted treatment (MAT), case management, board and care, and community placements; and WHEREAS, Provider, with County staff assistance, has determined that the most cost effective and reasonable way to operate the Transitional Program is for Provider to do a design-build, including, but not limited to, contract for the design, and construction of the improvements to the Premises, as hereinafter defined; and WHEREAS, the County of Marin will separately contract with Provider to provide the Transitional Program services through this facility and place patients in the Transitional Program run by Provider (“Services Contract”).

GENERAL PROVISIONS.

a. Plats and Riders. Clauses, plats and riders, if any, signed by the County and Provider and endorsed on or affixed to this Lease are a part hereof. b. Waiver. The waiver by County of any term, covenant or condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such term, covenant or condition on any subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition herein contained. The subsequent acceptance of rent hereunder by County shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Provider of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, other than the failure of the Provider to pay the particular rental so accepted, regardless of County's knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of the acceptance of such rent. c. Intentionally left blank. d. Joint Obligation. If there be more than one Provider, the obligations hereunder implied upon them shall be joint and several.

e. Marginal Headings. The marginal headings and Paragraph titles to the Paragraphs of this Lease are not a part of this Lease and shall have no effect upon the construction or interpretation of any part hereof. f. Time.

Late Charges. Provider hereby acknowledges that late payment by Provider to County of rent or other sums due hereunder will cause County to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed upon County by terms of any mortgage or trust deed covering the Premises. Accordingly, if any installment of rent or a sum due from Provider shall not be received by County or County's designee within ten (10) days after said amount is due, then Provider shall pay to County a late charge equal to ten (10%) percent of such overdue amount. The parties hereby agree that such late charges represent a fair and reasonable estimate of the cost that County will incur by reason of the late payment by Provider. Acceptance of such late charges by the County shall in no event constitute a waiver of Provider's default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent County from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted

hereunder.

Exhibit “A” Funding Agreement

920 GRAND AVENUE, SAN RAFAEL, CALIFORNIA

FUNDING AGREEMENT FOR THE DEVELOPMENT AND CONSTRUCTION OF A

TRANSITIONAL RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT PROGRAM FACILITY AND RELATED

IMPROVEMENTS

THIS FUNDING AGREEMENT FOR THE DEVELOPMENT AND CONSTRUCTION OF

A TRANSITIONAL RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT PROGRAM FACILITY AND

RELATED IMPROVEMENTS (“Agreement”), made and entered into as of this

______ day of ____________, 2020, by and between the COUNTY OF MARIN, State

of California (hereinafter referred to as "County"), and name of provider, a

California _________________________________ (hereinafter referred to as the

"Provider").

WITNESSETH

WHEREAS, the County of Marin, along with other local cities in Marin County,

supports a welcoming, residential support program to individual clients (from

three months to a year) appropriate for maintaining stability and working on long-

term goals, where clients are fully integrated into household life and, where

appropriate, also participate in job-training, school, work, or day treatment

programs; and

WHEREAS, the County of Marin, along with other local cities in Marin County,

supports the ultimate goals for this program which include developing critical

social skills and coping strategies, finding housing, and securing ongoing services

and supports in preparation for discharge from the program; and

WHEREAS, the County of Marin currently has no residential support program to

serve mental health clients with co-occurring substance abuse disorders (“dual

diagnosis clients”) within its borders, resulting in clients being sent out-of-county

to receive critical services; and

WHEREAS, the County of Marin finds it is in the County’s and the general public’s

best interest to provide localized treatment and services to mental health clients;

and

WHEREAS, the County of Marin is required, pursuant to Welfare and Institutions

Code Sections 5600 et seq, to provide residential treatment for mental health

clients; and

WHEREAS, having a County-owned Transitional Residential Treatment Facility will

provide the County with significantly more control over costs and save County

resources, including travel costs associated with staff who previously had to travel

out of county to provide these services; and

Page 27: REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS (RFP) Adult Transitional Residential ... · The Marin County Board of Supervisors approved the concept for the property at 920 Grand Avenue, San Rafael to be

- 27 -

WHEREAS, having a County-owned Transitional Residential Treatment Facility will

reduce County expenditures on out-of-county placements and the associated

additional costs while supporting improved client access to necessary support

systems within Marin County and improving quality of life for both the residents

and their families; and

WHEREAS, having a County-owned Transitional Residential Treatment Facility

dedicated to service co-occurring SMI clients will allow for the County to be

reimbursed for services by billing Medi-Cal and receiving Social Security revenue,

neither of which the County is able to utilize with the current process of placing

clients out-of-county in contracted beds; and

WHEREAS, under the current system, in which the County must place dual

diagnosis clients out-of-county for residential support services, the County faces

skyrocketing costs due to a regional increase in demand for beds and a limited

supply of beds; and

WHEREAS, the County faces additional costs when placing clients out-of-county

that could be avoided with a local residential support program, including the costs

of ambulance rides to and from placements and additional case management

costs associated with overseeing caseloads across northern California; and

WHEREAS, a County-owned Transitional Residential Treatment Facility would

avoid the unnecessary strain placed on clients and family members due to out-of-

county placements, including the burden on families to visit clients out-of-county

and the strain on clients who often have better outcomes and higher quality of life

when kept closer to home, allowing them to more smoothly and quickly transition

from residential placements back to the community; and

WHEREAS, Provider has signed a lease with the County of Marin (“Lease”) for

carrying out a Transitional Program [defined in a prior Whereas] at the building

and site known as 920 Grand Avenue, San Rafael, California, Assessor Parcel

Number 014-093-01 (“Premises”); and

WHEREAS, Government Code Section 26227 authorizes the Board of Supervisors

to expend County funds to support programs deemed by the Board of Supervisors

to be necessary to meet the social needs of the population of the County,

including, but not limited to, the areas of health, welfare and the needs of

physically, mentally and financially handicapped persons; and

WHEREAS, the County of Marin is required pursuant to state contracts to provide

services that include, but are not limited to, a full continuum of behavioral health

care services, including but not limited to residential, intensive outpatient

treatment, outpatient, medication assisted treatment (MAT), case management,

board and care, and community placements; and

Page 28: REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS (RFP) Adult Transitional Residential ... · The Marin County Board of Supervisors approved the concept for the property at 920 Grand Avenue, San Rafael to be

- 28 -

WHEREAS, the County of Marin will separately contract with Provider to provide

the Transitional Program services through this facility and place patients in the

Transitional Program run by Provider (“Services Contract”); and

WHEREAS, the County of Marin finds it is in the County and the general public’s

best interest to assist Provider in keeping the Transitional Program in operation

within the geographic boundaries of the County of Marin; and

WHEREAS, Provider, with County staff assistance, has determined that the most

cost effective and reasonable way to operate the Transitional Program is for

Provider to do a design-build, including, but not limited to, contract for the design,

and construction of the improvements to the Premises.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto do mutually agree as follows:

1. Scope of Service. Provider shall perform the following necessary services:

materials and submit construction documents to the County of

Marin’s Building Department (and any other required agency or

department) for approval in such a manner that will help to ensure

the Transitional Program Premises meet current building, life safety,

and other required building codes if any.

2) Negotiate a contract (the "Site Improvements Contract"), ultimately to be between Provider and a California-licensed local general contractor ("Contractor"), pursuant to which Contractor is to construct the transitional residential facility and related improvements (“Site Improvements”).

b). Ten percent (10%) shall be withheld from all progress payments to Contractor under the Site Improvements Contract up to Substantial Completion, and five percent (5%) shall be withheld for thirty (30) days following Substantial Completion, or until agreed-upon "punch list items" have been completed and approved by Provider, whichever is later.

5) County shall designate one or more authorized representatives for consultation with Provider (or representatives of Provider) during the construction of the Site Improvements.

unless otherwise agreed between Provider and the County.

any other provision in this paragraph, if Provider receives a grant or fundraised

money whose purpose is to pay for any aspect of the Compensation, and if the

County has already paid money to Provider under this Agreement that would

have been covered by such grant or fundraised money, then Provider shall

owe such grant or fundraised money to the County to the extent applicable

requirements of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 USC 794)

I. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to, or shall be construed in

between the parties, nor shall any employee of Provider by virtue of this

Agreement be an employee of the County for any purpose whatsoever, nor

shall any employee of Provider be entitled to any of the rights, privileges, or

benefits of County employees. Provider shall be deemed at all times an

independent contractor and shall be wholly responsible for the manner in

which it performs the services required of it by the terms of this Agreement.

Provider assumes exclusively the responsibility for the acts of its employees

as they relate to the services to be provided during the course and scope of

their employment.

J. Events of Default and Enforcement.

The County may declare an "Event of Default" if Provider defaults in the

performance or observance of any covenant or obligation of Provider set

forth in this Agreement, if such default remains uncured for a period of ten

(10) days after written notice of such default has been given by the County to

Provider. Provided, however, if more than ten (10) days are reasonably

required to cure the default that could give rise to an Event of Default if not

timely cured, then so long as Provider works to cure the default with

diligence, an additional reasonable amount of time to cure the default shall

be provided. Upon declaration of an Event of Default, the County may take

such action at law or in equity as may appear necessary or desirable to

enforce the obligations and covenants of Provider hereunder, either under

Page 35: REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS (RFP) Adult Transitional Residential ... · The Marin County Board of Supervisors approved the concept for the property at 920 Grand Avenue, San Rafael to be

- 35 -

this Agreement or within the Lease. The covenants contained in this

Agreement shall be binding on Provider and its successors and assigns, for

the benefit of the County, and such covenants shall run in favor of the

County. The parties understand and agree that the County may be

irreparably damaged in the event that this Agreement is not specifically

enforced, making any remedy at law or for damages inadequate.

Accordingly, in the event of a default under this Agreement, County shall

have in addition and without prejudice to any right or remedy available at

law or in equity, the right to demand and have an injunction restraining such

default and the right to demand and have specific performance of any

provision of this Agreement. The obligations and covenants contained in

this Agreement shall be enforceable only by the County.

9. Termination.

A. This Agreement shall terminate upon the occurrence of any of the

circumstances set forth in subparts a. or b. of Paragraph 2 above.

B. On or before thirty (30) days after Provider presents the completed

Feasibility Studies to County as provided for in subpart A.1). of Paragraph 1

above, the County shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon

five (5) days written notice to Provider. If County does not terminate this

Agreement, County shall be deemed to have approved the Feasibility

Studies. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, County

shall indemnify, defend and hold Provider harmless from any and all claims

or demands that relate to or arise from County’s termination of this

Agreement under this Paragraph 9.B., including but not limited to any

which may relate to or arise from the Lease or Provider’s obligations under

this Agreement. In the event Provider has received money from County

under this Agreement before the termination of this Agreement under this

provision, Provider shall not be obligated to reimburse County for any such

amounts to the extent such money is owed by Provider to a third party.

Provided, however, Provider shall reimburse the County to the extent it can

do so if payment does not expose Provider or their respective agents to

claims or demands for money (including claims for indemnification)

brought by third parties that could reasonably result in a judgment in favor

of such party(ies) making such claims or demands.

C. The County may terminate this Agreement, but only after giving notice to

Provider of a ten business (10) day cure period, during which Provider fails

to correct the condition, if Provider:

1) Fails to file required reports or to substantially meet project progress

or completion deadlines;

2) Materially fails to comply with any provision of this Agreement;

Page 36: REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS (RFP) Adult Transitional Residential ... · The Marin County Board of Supervisors approved the concept for the property at 920 Grand Avenue, San Rafael to be

- 36 -

3) Expends funds under this Agreement for ineligible activities, services

or items; or

4) Fails to comply with written notice from the County of materially

substandard performance under the terms of this Agreement.

With respect to the provisions above in this Paragraph 9.C.: Such cure period

shall be extended by a reasonable amount of time to the extent Provider

reasonably requires more than ten business (10) days in which to cure the

condition about which County has complained. The County shall provide written

notice to Provider of any condition about which the County believes this provision

applies; and such written notice shall cite this paragraph 9.C. Provider’s receipt of

such written notice shall commence the timing of the cure period.

10. Other Provisions.

A. Advice of Counsel: Each party hereto had been provided full

opportunity for review of this agreement by legal counsel. Therefore, no

presumption or rule that any ambiguity be construed against the

drafting party shall apply to the interpretation or enforcement of the

Agreement.

B. Anti-Discrimination and Anti-Harassment Provider shall not unlawfully

discriminate against or harass any individual based on race, color,

religion, nationality, sex, sexual orientation, age or condition of

disability. Provider understands and agrees that it is bound by and will

Federal and State laws.

C. Compliance with Applicable Laws. Provider shall comply with any and

all Federal, State and local laws and resolutions affecting services

covered by this Agreement.

inserted, or is not correctly inserted, then upon the application of either

party the Agreement shall forthwith be physically amended to make

such insertion or correction.
