three District residents at the current facility where they reside. Mentor ABI, LLC- Neurorestorative

sector contracts with requirements similar to those of the proposed contract:

treatment due to changes in his medical need as required for medical and psychiatric stabilization
without sufficient time to seek Council approval for the increased price of option year one. The

year one to allow for sufficient time to obtain Council approval. The proposed change is being
requested to allow for the continuation of services for consumers who need rehabilitation medical
services and neurobehavioral programs.
(L) The reason for the proposed change:
The contracting officer was notified by DBH of the need to move one consumer to a higher level of
treatment due to changes in his medical need as required for medical and psychiatric stabilization
