#32 Clinton County.pdf

This is a Scope of Work document for Clinton County, a New York jurisdiction, outlining requirements for the provision of Designated Provider Agency (DPA) services under the Mental Health Law Article 31. The county seeks a qualified organization to deliver comprehensive community mental health services including outpatient treatment, rehabilitation, crisis intervention, and support services to individuals with serious and persistent mental illness. The contract term is for a period of five years with potential renewal options to be negotiated. Response to this opportunity requires submission of a formal proposal addressing operational capacity, staffing qualifications, service delivery plans, and compliance with regulatory standards. The incumbent provider should be identified in county records, and the current service environment reflects ongoing demand for mental health services within the Clinton County catchment area.

Pricing is to be negotiated based on the county's established rate methodology for DPA services, which typically operates under a capitated or per-diem model dependent on service volumes and utilization patterns. The contract is designated as a set-aside opportunity for qualified nonprofit organizations and agencies licensed to provide mental health services under New York State regulations. Funding is derived from county mental health appropriations, state aid allocations, and potential federal sources including Medicaid reimbursement. Interested bidders must demonstrate financial stability, appropriate licensure, and ability to maintain continuity of care for existing clients during any transition period. The organization must comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and county policies governing mental health service delivery in New York State.
