Report
Summary
The City had an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) for the construction, operation and maintenance of the Central City Addiction Recovery Center (CCARC) (formerly known as Local Alcohol Reception Center or LARC) on the grounds of the Arizona State Hospital. The IGA expired Dec. 31, 2017. The City constructed the facility that houses CCARC.
CCARC serves the community of Phoenix and combines medical and behavioral interventions to address a patient's psychiatric and substance abuse issues. CCARC provides methadone detox services and substance abuse treatment, which includes day treatment, partial hospitalization, inpatient detox and hospital inpatient treatment services.
In 2015, Mercy Maricopa Integrated Care (MMIC) was competitively selected and entered into a contract with State of Arizona for the delivery of mental health services in Maricopa County. The contract includes the provision of local alcoholism reception center services as described in Arizona Revised Statutes title 36, chapter 18, article 2. As a result, MMIC is the sole source for the Regional Behavioral Health Authority and has contracted with CBI to be its service provider; no other entities can be solicited for proposals for this service.
Since Jan. 1, 2018, the City has contracted with CBI for CCARC operations and maintenance. CBI was recently awarded federal grant funding to renovate the CCARC, with a condition that Contract 147736 with CBI be extended through at least Dec. 31, 2031, to satisfy federal minimum period of use requirements.
Contract Term
The initial term of Contract 147736 with CBI began on Jan. 1, 2018, through Dec. 31, 2022, with one, five-year option to extend. In December 2022, the City extended Contract 147736 through Dec. 31, 2027. This item, if approved will authorize the City to extend the contract through Dec. 31, 2031.
Financial Impact
The revised total value of this contract shall not exceed $4.06 million. Additional funding is available in the Human Services Department General Funds, upon annual budget approval.
