BACKGROUND INFORMATION
DBH is responsible for providing mental health and substance use disorder (SUD) services to county residents experiencing severe mental illness and/or SUD. The Pacific Village Platinum Campus (Campus) is an estimated $42 million multi use-collective use partnership between DBH, the Department of Aging and Adult Services, the Community Development and Housing Department, and third-party management providers that offer housing and social services to county residents who are experiencing or are at risk of homelessness.
San Bernardino County (County) is expanding the Campus housing complex, a full-service continuum of care campus, which will promote community health and provide housing options to the most vulnerable residents within the county. The 6.91-acre site is located on County owned parcels at Pacific Street and Valaria Drive in the City of San Bernardino. The Campus will address gaps in the continuum of care and needs of the individuals, including older adults, adults with disabilities, and people experiencing homelessness, with behavioral health conditions, and with the greatest barriers to obtaining behavioral health treatment and housing. The Campus will introduce 30 new permanent supportive housing units, 32 new recuperative care units, 16 adult SUD treatment beds, and moving away from the traditional congregate living model. This will provide housing and supportive services to 726 individuals annually, an increase of 698 individuals.
On October 6, 2020 (Item No. 33), the Board of Supervisors (Board) approved the acquisition of the Campus at a cost of $2,700,000, plus escrow and title fees, to initiate a project using HomeKey Program grant funding.
On July 23, 2024 (Item No. 26), the Board approved subdivision of the Campus, creating three separate parcels necessary to facilitate the Campus Project.
On December 3, 2024 (Item No. 38), the Board approved an award for Design Build Services Agreement No. 24-1163, including non-standard terms, to W.E. O’Neil Construction Co. of California, for the amount of $47,205,837, as the design builder for the Campus Project in the City of San Bernardino.
On December 3, 2024 (Item No. 15), the Board approved Phase III of this project and submission of the Bond Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program (BHCIP) Round 1 grant application to Department of Health Care Services (DHCS). DBH submitted the application on December 13, 2024, for Bond BHCIP grant funds to support further expansion by adding two 16-bed SUD residential treatment facilities and the addition of connective pathways to serve approximately 192 adults annually, including older adults, individuals with disabilities, and unhoused individuals. The facility will provide 24-hour, gender-responsive care for individuals with SUD and co-occurring mental health diagnoses, offering treatment aligned with current American Society of Addiction Medicine Level of care. Individuals are expected to stay for an average of 30 days, ensuring adequate time for stabilization and recovery.
Approval of this item will authorize PFMD to begin the Design and Programming Phase, including schematic design and design development for this expansion. DBH received a conditional award notice on May 6, 2025, from DHCS for Bond BHCIP Round 1, receiving the full requested amount of $38,722,987.36. DBH is required to meet Bond BHCIP milestones and is requesting a retroactive effective date of May 23, 2025. Immediate commencement of the design efforts is required to meet the strict design completion deadlines prescribed by the Bond BHCIP grant. This item is being presented at the first available date following the required operational, administrative, and legal reviews for presentation to the Board.
PROCUREMENT
DBH and PFMD will return to the Board for approval of the environmental findings, remaining design efforts, plans and specifications, authorization to advertise for competitive bids, and ultimately award of the contract under a separate capital improvement program request.
