BACKGROUND:
On March 27, 2024, a notice of interest was issued in NGEM allowing companies to express their interest in participating in RFP No. 2024-04 for Crisis Stabilization Center Administrative Services. The RFP was also published in the Las Vegas Review Journal on March 31, 2024. On May 7, 2024, responses were received from:
Connections Health Solutions Vegas Stronger
Desert Winds Hospital WC Health
Medasource Spring Mountain Treatment Center (disqualified)
Nevada Behavioral Health Systems
An ad hoc committee (comprised of UMC Administration, Medical/Surgical Services, Patient Accounting, HIM, Physician Advisor Services and Care Center Administrative Services) reviewed the proposals independently and anonymously, and recommends the selection of, and contract approval with Nevada Behavioral Health Systems (“NBH”).
For the not-to-exceed total RFP award of $25,559,900 for the term of the Agreement, NBH will manage, on behalf of UMC, the Crisis Stabilization Center for the provision of 24/7 outpatient behavioral/mental health services, which includes substance use disorders, for the treatment of adult patients at 5409 E. Lake Mead Blvd., Las Vegas, NV 89156 (“Services”). The overall intent is to try to avoid inpatient hospitalization if stabilization can be achieved in less than 24 hours. NBH will comply with NRS 449.0915 and its components, and has the personnel and resources necessary to provide the Services.
The Agreement’s go-live term is three (3) years from the Effective Date with the option to extend for two (2) one-year periods. Staff has negotiated the terms of the Agreement and fees associated with these Services and found them equitable for the work to be performed. Staff also requests authorization for the Hospital CEO to (i) sign the Agreement; (ii) exercise any extension options; and (3) execute future amendments within the not-to-exceed amount of this Agreement.
UMC’s Executive Director for Post-Acute Care Services has reviewed and recommends award of this Agreement. This Agreement has been approved as to form by UMC’s Office of General Counsel.
This Agreement was reviewed by the Governing Board at their August 28, 2024 meeting and recommended for award by the Board of Hospital Trustees.
