Fern Carroll	12/13/2022:BOS	Contract #76-789 with Vizient, Inc.	Health Services	Anna Roth
	This contract meets the needs of the County by providing Group Purchasing Program services. Vizient is a health care Group Purchasing Organization (GPO) that, on behalf of participating organizations, negotiates, directly and through its contracting subsidiaries, agreements between suppliers and Vizient for goods, services, and intangible items. Under contract #76-789, Vizient will negotiate and enter into supplier agreements under which the County may purchase as a third-party beneficiary. Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) has been doing business with Vizient and its predecessors for over thirty years, as Vizient services 50% of the healthcare organizations in the United States, including 97% of all academic medical centers and over 20% of ambulatory care providers. Vizient’s members represented more than $130 billion in purchasing volume for 2021. As a result of mergers and acquisitions over the last few years, there are now only three (3) viable GPOs for membership consideration. They are Vizient, LLC, Premier, Inc., and HealthTrust Premier, Inc. was considered, but its presence on the West Coast has been diminishing over the past ten-plus years. The inability to network with other local GPO members was a factor, as CCRMC may desire to participate in the member clinical, supply chain, pharmaceutical collaborative, and regional supply coalitions. HealthTrust was considered, but due to the rigid requirements for achieving value, later rejected; HealthTrust, provides its members with exceptional pricing on products; however, its model works on the principle of one size fits all. Multiple vendor contracts within a product category are unavailable for member selection; negotiations with and committing their membership to one vendor offering within a product category is what allows for exceptional pricing. But the need to utilize various vendor pricing would leave the member without a contract and cause it to negotiate its contract pricing, terms, and conditions or request custom contracting services from HealthTrust for additional fees, increasing cost, and decreasing value. Further, HealthTrust does not have a presence on the West Coast. CCRMC chose to stay with Vizient because by switching GPOs, CCRMC would no longer be able to access Vizient’s pharmacy portfolio. Vizient’s pharmacy program delivers exceptional value to members due to its rigorous weekly price review and bi-weekly mini-bid process. Switching GPOs may increase the cost of pharmaceuticals and would eliminate CCRMC’s ability to purchase Vizient’s private-label generic (NovaPlus) products. The volume of the product, supplies, equipment, and services purchased by Vizient members across the Nation allows CCRMC to benefit from the value of participating in Vizient’s supplier agreements. Most prices, contract terms & conditions, and value-added services received are significantly better than what CCRMC could achieve alone. In consideration for the services provided under this contract, Vizient will retain administrative fees from its suppliers based on County’s purchases, with that supplier, except as otherwise provided in a supplier agreement. Vizient will share a percentage of the administrative fees reported by a supplier with the County based on the County’s purchases (for covered items) reported by suppliers during each calendar quarter for the duration of this contract. To meet the contractual annual committed purchase requirement of $90,368,000 over the initial 3-year period, the County’s aggregate purchases reported by suppliers must equal or exceed the contractual spend amount specified every 12 months of the contract term ($29,237,000 2022/23, $30,114,000 2023/24, and $31,017,000 2024/25). Supplier sales reported to Vizient for 2020 and 2021 for CCRMC exceed $36,000,000 annually. Annualized sales for FY 2022 are estimated to be over $35,000,000. Additionally, CCRMC collaborates with its covered facilities to transition their purchases to the Vizient Contract Portfolio where possible, increasing the annual purchases reported through Vizient, further ensuring the County’s commitment purchase requirement is met each year. This contract obligates the County to indemnify Vizient against third-party claims arising from the County’s negligent act or omission or breach of the master agreement, and if County resells purchased materials. This contract includes a limitation of liability limiting Vizient’s liability to an amount equal to annual services fees and reimbursable expenses in the applicable statement of work. In order to secure the supplier pricing afforded by this contract, the County can only terminate the agreement for an uncured breach by Vizient or bankruptcy by Vizient. This request to the Board is retroactive due to a delay in negotiating the contract terms between the contractor and County staff. Approval of this new Contract #76-789 allows the contractor to provide services through September 30, 2025, with two (2) additional 1-year terms by amendment.

Elke Soberal	11/29/2022:BOS	RECOMMENDATION FOR APPOINTMENT TO THE AIRPORT LAND USE COMMISSION	Airports	Greg Baer
	The Board of Supervisors created the Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC) in 1970 to promote the orderly development of compatible land uses around each public airport in the County, in order to safeguard both the interests of the general public and the welfare of inhabitants in the areas surrounding the airports. The California Public Utilities Code requires and specifies the composition of the ALUC, whose membership shall include: Two representing the cities in the county, appointed by a city selection committee comprised of the mayors of all the cities within that county, except that if there are any cities contiguous or adjacent to the qualifying airport, at least one representative shall be appointed therefrom. Two representing the county, appointed by the Board of Supervisors. Two having expertise in aviation, appointed by a selection committee comprised of the managers of all of the public airports within that county. One representing the general public, appointed by the other six members of the commission. The seat terms are four years, expiring the first Monday in May. The term of the Airport Managers Appointee 2 Commissioner seat expired on May 2, 2022. The Director of Airports conducted interviews on September 21, 2022, and on September 26, 2022, and recommends the appointment of Allison A. Picard to the Airport Managers Appointee 2 Commissioner seat to a term ending on May 4, 2026.

Elise Schilling	12/14/2022:AIR	Discuss 4.6 Acre Self Storage Project, Buchanan Field	Airports
	The development site is approximately 4.6 acres of land owned by the County and located on the northwest corner of Marsh Drive and Solano Way on the north side of Buchanan Field Airport. The parcel is commonly referred to as “Parcel C” and is designated for non-aviation use on the Buchanan Field Master Plan. The parcel is partially (approximately 20%) within the unincorporated County and the balance (approximately 80%) is within the City of Concord. As such, on July 20, 2016, the Board approved an agreement between Contra Costa County and the City of Concord regarding the entitlement process for development of this parcel and the apportionment of tax revenues. On December 6, 2016, the Board authorized Airports Staff to negotiate lease terms with another entity. Unfortunately, the other entity was unable to proceed with its proposed development and they withdrew its development interest on March 9, 2018. On March 13, 2018, the Contra Costa County Public Works – Airports Division proactively solicited and advertised for development interest in the 4.6-acre site. The competitive solicitation process was consistent with the FAA Airports District Office’s guidance for airport property use. The Airports Division received seven (7) letters of interest from private parties to develop the subject site. On April 16, 2018, Airports Division staff distributed a RFP to select a master developer to the seven interested parties. The proposals and a $25,000 development deposit were due on May 25, 2018. The Airports Division received two complete proposals, one from Montecito Commercial Group, LLC and a joint proposal from StoragePRO, Inc. and the Deutscher Properties Corporation. A Selection Committee comprised of Airports Division staff, a member of the Aviation Advisory Committee, and a City of Concord staff member was convened to review and rank the two proposals. The ranking outcome was the proposal submitted by StoragePRO, Inc. and Deutscher Properties Corporation was unanimously ranked first and the proposal Montecito Commercial Group, LLC was ranked second. They have been meeting with the City of Concord to proceed through the environmental process. On June 26, 2018, the Board authorized County staff to negotiate a lease and development terms with the respondents in ranked order. Development of this 4.6-acre vacant parcel for commercial use would expand economic development activity at Buchanan Field Airport and lead to increased revenues for the Airport Enterprise Fund. This development will also facilitate the growth and development as identified in the adopted Buchanan Field Airport Master Plan. A business proposal must be consistent with the Airport Master Plan and General Plan for consideration. The Claremont Companies, LLC has replaced StoragePRO, Inc. in the development partnership with Deutscher Properties Corporation. Geotechnical work has been performed on the site. The project site plan, design, landscaping, and other development application components are underway. The team submitted a development application to the City of Concord in October 2019, and the application is proceeding through the entitlement process County staff has negotiated lease and development terms with the development team. The project has been reviewed and approved by the City of Concord’s Design Review Board The project proponent has been working with the City of Concord staff to address land use and aesthetic issues. The project was reviewed by the City of Concord’s Planning Commission on September 1, 2021, and it was carried over to their October 6, 2021, meeting to provide the developer additional time to determine if it was feasible to install a Class II bike lane along the entire parcel perimeter. The Marsh Bridge project design, however, impacts a large portion of the westerly parcel perimeter on Marsh Drive and the project cannot be delayed to accommodate a redesign for a Class II bike lane in the impacted area. The Planning Commission voted to approve the project at their October 6, 2021 meeting. The Board of Supervisors reviewed and approved the lease at their February 1, 2022 meeting. The lease has been fully executed and the effective date is February 1, 2022.
Diana Ternes	12/06/2022:BOS	Approve and Authorize Amendment No. 3 to Consulting Services Agreement with Robinson Mills + Williams to provide as-needed Architectural Services	Public Works	Brian M. Balbas
	On October 23, 2018, the Board of Supervisors approved an as-needed Consulting Services Agreement with Robinson Mills + Williams, in the amount of $750,000. On September 21, 2021, the Board approved Amendment No. 1 to increase the payment limit from $750,000 to $1,500,000 and extended the term from October 23, 2021, to October 23, 2022. On September 13, 2022, the Board approved Amendment No. 2 to extend the term through October 23, 2023, with no change to the payment limit. Robinson Mills + Williams is familiar with these active projects, and the design and construction of typical building types. Therefore, it is recommended that the contract amendment be awarded at this time. Robinson Mills + Williams will continue to provide architectural services, such as programming, design and construction administration. The type, size and location of projects will vary. Typical projects may include new construction, building renovations/modernizations, remodeling of an entire building or specific areas within a building, tenant improvements, exterior building restorations, Mechanical-Electrical-Plumbing upgrades, structural improvements, code-related improvements and deferred maintenance projects. Projects may also include studies to support projects with potential BHCIP funding. Extending this as-needed agreement will save the County time and money when compared to the time and expense in conducting a consultant selection process on a project-by-project basis, and will allow the design phase to commence sooner and provide for a shorter project completion schedule.
Michele Wara	11/29/2022:BOS	APPROVE and AUTHORIZE a Contract with VistAbility, a California Nonprofit Corporation, Countywide	Public Works	Brian M. Balbas
	VistAbility provides employment opportunities to developmentally disabled adults. For several years the Public Works Print and Mail Services Division has contracted with VistAbility (formerly known as Commercial Support Services) to fill the low-skill need of assembling informational packets (i.e., packet fulfillment services) for use by the Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) as well as other County departments. Due to their involvement with and support of Covered California, the volume of work generated by EHSD still requires services provided by VistAbility. Approval of this Contract will allow VistAbility to continue to provide packet fulfillment services through October 31, 2025. The California Welfare and Institution Code section 19404 (“Section 19404”) authorizes the County to contract for services, including the type of packet fulfillment services that VistAbility provides, from non-profit corporations who operate community rehabilitation programs and meet the criteria of Section 19404 without advertising or calling for bids, provided that the services meet the specifications and needs of the County and are purchased at a fair market price, as determined by the County. VistAbility is a California non-profit corporation. VistAbility meets the requirements of Section 19404 in that: (1) the work to be performed under the contract will primarily (at least 75% of it) be performed by a labor force comprised of persons with disabilities; (2) VistAbility makes elections under the federal Insurance Contributions Act to provide social security and unemployment benefits to its employees; (3) maintains Articles of Incorporation requiring that at least two directors on its Board of Directors are persons with disabilities or the parents, guardians, or conservators of persons with disabilities; and (4) provides disabled employees substantially equally benefits that are provided to VistAbility’s organized employees.

Enid Mendoza	12/06/2022:BOS	Ordinance Allowing the Sale and Delivery of Cannabis Vaping Products	Board of Supervisors District III	Diane Burgis
	In the November 2016 election, Californians approved Proposition 64 to legalize adult recreational cannabis usage. Contra Costa voters approved of recreational cannabis usage by 60.72%. On August 7, 2018, the Board of Supervisors adopted Ordinance No. 2018-23, an ordinance to regulate commercial cannabis activities. The ordinance required anyone engaged in commercial cannabis activities or engaged in cannabis deliveries to obtain a County health permit in addition to all other licenses and permits required by the County and the state. The ordinance established standards for the retail sale and delivery of cannabis and cannabis products. Since cannabis legalization in California, a number of cities in Contra Costa County have allowed recreational cannabis sales. These cities all allow the sale of cannabis vaping products. Currently, residents of the unincorporated area can purchase cannabis vaping products by going to a permitted cannabis retailer located in one of the cities which allow cannabis retail, however, they cannot purchase cannabis vaping products from a permitted cannabis retailer located in the unincorporated area. The attached Ordinance No. 2022-28 would allow the sale of non-flavored cannabis vaping products by permitted cannabis retailers located in the unincorporated areas of Contra Costa County. On November 19, 2019, the Board adopted Ordinance No. 2019-34, an ordinance to prohibit the sale of tobacco vaping products, flavored tobacco products, and menthol cigarettes. The ordinance also prohibited the sale or delivery of cannabis vaping products. Following the adoption of Ordinance No. 2019-34, it has become apparent that many seniors and other adults rely on cannabis vaping products for both recreational and medical reasons. Under the existing ordinance, homebound seniors and adults in the unincorporated areas cannot receive vaping cannabis products from any source. The attached ordinance, Ordinance No. 2022-28, would allow the sale and delivery of non-flavored cannabis vaping products in unincorporated areas, while continuing to prohibit the sale of tobacco vaping products, flavored tobacco products, menthol cigarettes, and flavored cannabis products in unincorporated areas. The purpose of the ordinance is to ensure that seniors and other adults who use cannabis vaping products do not use unregulated and potentially tainted products, and to address geographical equity in access to legal products. Under the proposed Ordinance No. 2022-28, residents in unincorporated areas would be able to obtain non-flavored cannabis products just like residents in cities that allow cannabis sales and deliveries. The recommended action would also direct Contra Costa Health Services to consult with stakeholders to develop a proposed program designed to raise awareness about and curtail the illegal market in cannabis and tobacco vaping and return to the Board of Supervisors with a recommended program.

Nataline Jindoian	12/13/2022:HA	ESTABLISH NEW CLASSIFICATION OF HUMAN RESOURCES SPECIALIST	Housing Authority	Joseph Villarreal
	The Authority currently has one full-time human resources staff person, the Director of Human Resources, for 100 budgeted positions. Due to ongoing recruitment challenges and various leaves of absences, the Authority is in need of a full-time human resources specialist to assist the Director with recruitment, selection, onboarding, performance management, maintaining human resources files and data management, conduct salary surveys and payroll processing. Over the past years, the Authority has periodically hired temporary staff to provide support with these duties and special projects. However, the Authority needs a full-time specialist to assist the Director. The job description for the Human Resources Specialist position is attached. The proposed classification and salary were developed based on a review of salaries in the area.
