The bill pertains to the contract between the District of Columbia and Anchor Mental Health Association, Inc. for Mobile Response Crisis Services for children and youth. The contract, identified as CW103749, has been modified to exercise Option Year Two, which will run from January 15, 2025, to January 14, 2026, with a not-to-exceed amount of $1,848,789.72. This modification reflects an increase in funding for the services provided, with the base period amount set at $1,694,256.24 and the first option period at $1,769,822.64. The increase in the contract amount for subsequent option periods is attributed to an annual adjustment for inflation and operational costs.

Additionally, the proposed contractor has been confirmed to be current with its District taxes, as indicated by the Citywide Clean Hands database. The Department of Behavioral Health has certified that the necessary funding is available in the fiscal year 2025 and 2026 budget to support this contract. The contract modification ensures that the terms and conditions remain unchanged, except for the specified adjustments related to the option year and funding availability.
