The proposed Modification No. M006 to Contract No. DCRL-2024-H2-0039 seeks to exercise the second option year for Maximum Quest Residential Care Facilities (MQ) to provide congregate care services for youth in foster care. The modification is set for the period from October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2027, with a not-to-exceed amount of $1,972,201.50. This contract is essential for supporting youths who are separated from their families due to abuse or neglect and are deemed inappropriate for family-based care.

The contract modification reflects a total contract value of $4,675,370.83 over its duration, which includes the base year and two option years. The first option year was a shortened period to align the contract with the fiscal year schedule. The Child and Family Services Agency has certified that the necessary funds are available in the District's Local Budget and Financial Plan for Fiscal Year 2027 to cover the costs associated with this contract modification.
