Title
Resolution to Approve a Service Contract with Dawn Farm to Provide Drug Abuse Counseling and Rehabilitative Services to Sobriety Court and Mental Health Court Participants ($109,215.00)
Memorandum
This resolution seeks Council approval for a service contract with Dawn Inc., d/b/a Dawn Farm, for drug abuse counseling and rehabilitation services to 15th Judicial District Court defendants who are participants in the Court's Sobriety Court and Mental Health Court programs.
Budget/Fiscal Impact: Services provided under this contract will be funded through the State Court Administrative Office Michigan Drug Court Grant Program (SCAO-MDCGP) ($89,615.00) and the State Court Administrative Office Michigan Mental Health Court Grant Program (SCAO-MMHCGP) ($19,600.00). Grant award acceptance was previously approved by City Council on November 6, 2014 (R-14-371 and R-14-372).
These services are funded by the Michigan Supreme Court State Court Administrative Office for Grant Fiscal Year, and without regard to City Fiscal Year.
Approval of a ten percent (10%) contract contingency is also requested to allow the Court to increase services should additional funds become available for counseling and rehabilitation through an approved SCAO grant program budget amendment [e.g., approved grant project line-item budget adjustments within the total program award].
On June 17, 2013, Dawn, Inc. was granted a three-year exemption from the Living Wage requirements of Chapter 23 of the Ann Arbor Code of Ordinances by Resolution R-13-189.
