Title
Amendment to Agreement with Substance Abuse Center of Kansas.
Body
Recommended Action: Approve the amendment and authorize the Chairman to sign.
Background: The Community Crisis Center (CCC) seeks to create a center and system of integrated services located in Wichita that holistically addresses the needs of individuals
experiencing a behavioral health crisis. The CCC project expands existing crisis services to promote rapid stabilization and avoid ER admissions, local hospitalization, state
hospitalization and jail bookings. The project expands existing crisis services through the addition of: 23 hour crisis stabilization beds; crisis sobering services with average length
of stay of 8-12 hours; crisis acute medical detox services with average length of stay of 3-5 days; children's short-term crisis residential services.
COMCARE has partnered with SACK to provide crisis detoxification services at the Community Crisis Center. These services include: assessment services to determine level of care, peer recovery services, sobering services, clinically-managed residential withdrawal management, medically-monitored residential withdrawal management, and discharge planning and referrals to ongoing treatment services.
This amendment marks two changes to the original contract with SACK; the term of the contract is extended until December 31st, 2015 and compensation is reduced by $12,000. COMCARE would like to extend the contracts term from the original term of 1/1/15 - 6/30/15 to 1/1/15 - 12/31/15, extending the contract an additional six months. COMCARE would also like to reduce the original compensation amount of $490,926 to $478,926, a reduction of $12,000. These funds will be used by COMCARE to provide meals at the Community Crisis Center.
Alternatives: If this amendment is not signed services provided by SACK will no longer have funding, as the current contract expires on June 30th, 2015.

Cost: $478,926.00
Term: 1-1-15 to 12-31-15
