BACKGROUND INFORMATION
On September 10, 2024 (Item No. 45), the Board of Supervisors (Board) authorized Project and Facilities Management Department (PFMD) to utilize the design-build project delivery method for the Department of Behavioral Health’s Comprehensive Treatment Campus Project (Project).
On April 29, 2025 (Item No. 50), the Board approved the Contract with Snyder Langston, LLC (Contractor), in the not-to-exceed amount of $51,029,906, for the design and construction of the Project and delegated authority to the Director of PFMD to approve change orders up to $210,000. This facility is intended to expand access to behavioral health services and consolidate multiple core Department of Behavioral Health (DBH) programs into one centralized campus.
On August 18, 2025, the Director of PFMD utilized his delegated authority and executed Change Order No. 1 to the Contract, increasing the total contract by $117,000, from $51,029,906 to $51,146,906. Change Order No. 1 authorized the Contractor to perform Design/Engineering Survey and Utility Assessment, including American Land Title Association and a National Society of Professional Surveyors survey as required by San Bernardino County.
On September 9, 2025 (Item No. 26), the Board approved the Community Care Expansion (CCE) Grant Program Funding Agreement No. 25-686 with Horne LLP, acting on behalf of the California Department of Social Services, in the amount of $10,515,038. The agreement provides funding for the Project, supporting the development of recovery residence infrastructure on the Victorville campus.
On November 3, 2025, DBH was informed by Horne LLP that it was being merged into a subsidiary of BDO USA. Horne LLP will now operate under the new entity name, BDO Government Services, LLC, which will be the new third-party administrator of the CCE Grant Program.
On November 4, 2025 (Item No. 28), the Board approved Amendment No. 1 to the Contract with Snyder Langston, LLC, increasing the contract by $12,638,566, from $51,146,906 to $63,785,472. The increase in the construction amount reflects additional scope that was always intended to be included as part of the Project; however, it could not be incorporated until the County received the CCE Grant funding. Additionally, Amendment No. 1 revised certain terms and conditions of the original construction contract to ensure compliance with the CCE Grant requirements.
Amendment No. 2 will revise the construction contract with Snyder Langston, LLC to change all references to Horne LLP to BDO Government Services, LLC. It will also incorporate the revised CCE Program Funding Agreement, which includes the revision to the name. A separate, related Board item on today’s agenda has been submitted by the Department of Behavioral Health seeking Board approval for the revised CCE Program Funding Agreement. Approval of this amendment ensures that the contract remains in compliance with all applicable State funding requirements. It also allows the Project to proceed without delay, protecting the County’s eligibility for grant reimbursement and advancing the delivery of this critical behavioral health infrastructure.
Public Contract Code section 20136 requires all change orders and amendments to construction contracts to have a 4/5 vote approval by the Board.
PROCUREMENT
Not applicable.
