. (a) The director shall commence awarding contracts to
projects on or before July 1, 1990. In awarding contracts to early
intervention projects, the director may select projects from each of
the following models:
(1) A privately operated profit or nonprofit clinic that is not
licensed as part of a health facility and that provides all of the
services specified in subdivision (b) of Section 120900.
(2) A publicly operated clinic that is not licensed as part of a
health facility and that provides all of the services specified in
subdivision (b) of Section 120900.
(3) A combination of independent privately operated clinics,
publicly operated clinics, and other health care providers that in
total provide all of the services specified in subdivision (b) of
Section 120900.
(4) Any other model that the director considers worthy of
receiving funds.
(b) An applicant for a contract to operate an early intervention
project that is not a part of a county health department shall submit
its application to the county health department for review and
comment. The county health department shall provide comment on the
application to the department within a time period to be specified by
the department. The failure by a county health department to comment
on an application submitted to it within the time period specified
by the department shall not jeopardize the application, and the
department in a case of this nature may process and award a contract
in the absence of comment by the county health department.
(c) An applicant for a contract to operate an early intervention
project shall indicate in its application how it intends to
coordinate with county health department programs, community-based
organizations that provide HIV-related services, and other public and
private entities that may provide services to a person who is
infected with HIV.
