Substance Abuse Coordination Services for Drug Detoxification and Rehabilitation <br />Treatment <br />June 17, 2025 <br />Page 3 <br />5 <br />1 <br />0 <br />1 <br />Opioid settlement funds (OSF) are monitored for compliance by the Department of <br />Health Care Services (DHCS). The California Opioid Settlement Funds are allocated <br />through three (3) funds: California Abatement Accounts Fund, California Subdivision <br />Fund, and the California State fund. The California Abatement Accounts Fund is <br />allocated to all participating cities and counties. <br />The City of Santa Ana is currently in receipt of a portion of its Opioid settlement funds <br />and proposes to utilize these funds to secure Medically Assisted Detoxification, <br />Residential Drug Rehabilitation, Inpatient Rehab, and Partial Hospitalization Program <br />beds. <br />Following the successful completion of a client’s medical portion on their SUD treatment <br />journey, they will be case managed to ensure their ongoing access to medication, <br />therapy, step down treatment services, and recovery housing through CalOptima and <br />the Cal-Aim Program. Additionally, through the use of previously authorized funding, <br />City Net will connect clients to ongoing sober living placements and provide short term <br />rental assistance. <br /> <br />Competitive Bidding Process Exemption <br />Based on SAMC Section 2-807 (Non-Bid Purchases), the Purchasing Supervisor may <br />exempt an item from the competitive bidding process, with ultimate approval by the City <br />Council, if the Purchasing Supervisor determines the solicitation for bids would for any <br />reason be an Idle Act. <br />The Purchasing Supervisor, when determining if this procurement is exempt, has <br />reviewed the following information: <br />1. An RFP was recently evaluated for Outreach and Engagement Services between <br />three vendors (RFP No. 24-079A). Within the evaluated proposals, Substance <br />Abuse Counseling and Transportation Services were specifically evaluated as part <br />of those proposals. City Net was awarded the overall contract. <br />2. The total contract expenditure is expected to be broken down into four (4) <br />components: <br />a. Labor <br />i. Charges for Labor specifically assigned to this program will account <br />for approximately 11% of the total contract amount. <br />ii. A review of labor charges between all vendors that submitted for the <br />original contract varied between 10.84% and 11.51%, or an overall <br />variance of .67% of the total contract amount. <br />iii. A variance of .67%, varied from highest bidder to lowest bidder, is <br />approximately $3,300 of the total contract amount, which was viewed <br />as a diminutive amount within the total scope of the contract. <br />b. Client Services <br />i. Client Services are made up of the total amount expected to be paid <br />to service providers for bed space, which is expected to be <br />approximately $405,000, which is 81% of the total contract amount.
