[Funding: This Contract is a fixed rate Contract for a total of $43,971, for Fiscal Year 2018/2019]

BACKGROUND:

This contract originated in December 2006, with the Department of Children and Families. The Pre-Trial Release Program in Escambia County has operated successfully for a number of years with the Mental Health Division portion of the program which was initially established utilizing this funding. The contract enables the Mental Health Pre-Trial Release program to continue in Escambia County. The Escambia County Pre-Trial Release Program's affiliation with all other county operated services, including the State Attorney's Office, the Public Defender's Office, The County Jail and the Department of Community Corrections, places them in a uniquely qualified position to provide Forensic Mental Health/Pre-Trial Release services to Escambia County. Amendment #015 simply changes the time frame for a written notice of contract termination from thirty (30) days to ninety (90) days. Amendment #016 updates Exhibit B of the agreement (Method of Payment) with additional invoice requirements. Neither amendment will impact the operations of the position associated with this funding source.
