Purchase of Service Contract for State Fiscal Year 2006-2007
THIS CONTRACT is made by and between the County of Weld,a political subdivision of the State of
Colorado,by and through the Board of Commissioners of the County of Weld,on behalf of the Weld
County Department of Social Services,whose address is 315 N. 11th Avenue, Greeley, Colorado 80631,
hereinafter referred to as"County,"and North Range Behavioral Health, (NRBH) whose address is 1306
1l`h Ave, Greeley Colorado, 80631,hereinafter referred to as"Contractor."
2. This contract will be effective from June 1, 2006 until May 31,2007,but may be sooner terminated by
either party upon the provision of written notice of such termination to the other party received at least
thirty(30)days prior to the date of termination.
3. County agrees to purchase and Contractor agrees to provide Multi-Systemic Therapy Services("MST
Services")to such children and/or families("Client")and at such locations that are designated by County.
MST is an intensive family-and community-based treatment that addresses the multiple determinants of
serious antisocial behavior in juvenile offenders. The MST approach views individuals as being nested
within a complex network of interconnected systems that encompass individual, family, and extra-familial
(peer, school, neighborhood)factors. Intervention may be necessary in any one or a combination of these
systems. The major goal of MST is to empower parents with the skills and resources needed to
independently address the difficulties that arise in raising teenagers and to empower youth to cope with
family,peer, school, and neighborhood problems. Contractor's staff are expected to follow the national
MST model and its standards in providing services to clients. The MST Services shall be priced at$1,550
per month per client/family unit, and shall be pro-rated for any partial month of service. Total payment by
County for all MST Services provided by Contractor pursuant to the terms of this Contract shall not exceed
$204,640.
4. The parties agree that the Contractor's relationship to the County is that of an independent Contractor.
5. The parties agree that payment pursuant to this Contract is subject to,and contingent upon,the continuing
availability of funds for the purpose thereof
6. County agrees to:
a) Determine Client eligibility for MST Services and, as appropriate,to provide information
regarding any rights such Clients who are deemed to be ineligible may have to fair hearings.

Services to be purchased,by providing Contractor with a completed Core Service Agreement form
(a copy of which is attached hereto), including the name and address of the Client, the requested

may be appropriate. A properly completed Core Service Agreement form must be presented to the
Contractor prior to the provision of MST Services. The provision of MST Services to a specific
client without proper completion of this form and delivery to County may result in nonpayment to
Contractor.
c) Pay Contractor after receipt of billing statements for services rendered satisfactorily and in
accordance with this Contract. Core providers are paid through a state payment system called
Trails.This process occurs only once per month as scheduled by the state. The state system
prevents payment for services that are more than 90 days old.
