Joint resolution authorizing a contract with North Highland Consulting, Chicago, Illinois, for
facilitation and consulting services for the Lake County Mental Health Coalition an amount not
to exceed $379,450.
· In August 2016, Chairman Aaron announced the formation of the Lake County Mental
Health Coalition along with his co-chair Honorable Susan Garrett (former Illinois State
Senator, 29th District) and a diverse group of stakeholders that are capable of effecting
community-level change in the way our community addresses mental, emotional, and behavioral health needs.
· The focus of the Lake County Mental Health Coalition will be to leverage limited
financial resources across agencies by developing a multi-agency data sharing model
and network that will aid service providers in coordinating care and identifying service
gaps. The long-term goal is to work with all partners to share data, collaborate on
services, develop evidence-based practices, and, together, build a sustainable continuum of care.
· There is a need for consultant services to work with and support the efforts of the Lake
County Mental Health Coalition.
· In this phase, the consultant will conduct a current state assessment, evaluate options
for data sharing, develop data sharing agreements, and utilize research-based best
practices to aid service providers to have the data they need to collectively build service
capacity, address service gaps, enhance mental, behavioral and emotional health
services, and to collectively evaluate program outcomes.
· A Request for Proposal (RFP) was extended to 17 vendors, sealed proposals were
received from four vendors, and interviews were held with three firms.
· Based on the criteria set forth in the RFP, the evaluation committee selected North
Highland Consulting, Chicago, Illinois, as the most favorable proposal for Lake County.
· Funds for this contract are included as part of the 2017 budget and carry-over process
and this resolution authorizes the County Board Chairman to sign a contract in an
amount not exceed $379,450.
