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 $53 million multi-use collective 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. Phase 3 will create 16 adult SUD treatment beds and transition away from the traditional congregate living model. Completion of this Project 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 $2.7 million, 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 13, 2024 (Item No. 15), the Board approved the submission of the Bond Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program (BHCIP) Round 1 grant application to Department of Health Care Services (DHCS).
On June 10, 2025 (Item No. 37), the Board approved the Project and authorized PFMD to begin the design and programming phase, which included schematic design and design development for this expansion.
On January 27, 2026 (Item No. 21), the Board approved a Program Funding Agreement with Advocates for Human Potential, Inc., on behalf of the California Department of Health Care Services, for the Bond Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program Round 1: Launch Ready grant in the amount of $38,722,987 for the Project.
Approval of this item will fund the completion of design and environmental work necessary to advance the Project to construction. The original budget of $836,133 was intended to support preliminary programming, schematic design, and early design development and did not include the preparation of full construction documents or construction-phase services. As the Project advances from preliminary design into final design, additional funding is required to complete full construction drawings, including detailed architectural and engineering plans, permitting, and plan check coordination, and construction administration support.
The requested budget increase reflects the remaining scope of the design services, including approximately $495,100 for construction documentation, $126,472 for permitting and agency coordination, and $510,888 for construction administration services. These components are necessary to produce a complete and biddable set of construction documents and to support the Project through procurement and advertisement for construction bids.
This project is funded through the State’s Bond BHCIP Round 1 grant, which is deliverable-based and requires the County to meet specific design and construction milestones within the defined timeframes. Failure to meet these milestones may result in withholding of funds, termination of the agreement, or repayment of disbursed funds in accordance with the Program Funding Agreement. The design team has already initiated work under the approved design services agreement, and continuity of services is critical to maintaining the Project schedule. Delays in completing the design could jeopardize the County’s ability to meet grant deadlines and risk the loss of significant external funding. Additionally, delays to Phase III would impact ongoing and grant-funded work associated with Phase II of the Pacific Village Campus. For these reasons, completing the remaining design work without interruption is necessary to maintain project continuity, meet grant requirements, and ensure the Project can be timely advertised for construction.
PROCUREMENT
Approval of this item will allow PFMD to advertise for construction bids. PFMD will return to the Board at a later date to request approval to award a construction contract.
