RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute an amendment #25-087-2 to an emergency occupancy agreement between Contra Costa County and Concord Lodging, LLC, effective January 10, 2022, for emergency shelter for homeless persons at Premier Inn in Concord, to increase the number of rooms made available and increase the rate by $21,000 from $71,400 plus applicable taxes for each 15-day period to $92,400 plus applicable taxes for each 15-day period, and to make other minor changes.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Under the emergency occupancy agreement as amended, the County will spend an additional $21,000 plus applicable taxes for each 15-day period until the agreement is terminated. The cost is funded 100% by American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds. (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

On April 14, 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved and ratified an emergency occupancy agreement (#25-087) with Concord Lodging, LLC, under which the contractor agreed to provide emergency shelter to homeless individuals at Premier Inn at 1581 Concord Avenue, Concord, in response to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Under the agreement, commencing on April 6, 2020, the County has been paying $71,400 plus applicable taxes for 68 guest rooms, based on a room rate of $70 per day, and use of common areas, for each 15-year period. In January, at the County’s request, the contractor agreed to provide an additional 20 rooms at the same room rate. Under the proposed amendment, the cost of the additional rooms will increase the County’s payment to $92,400 plus applicable taxes for each 15-day period, commencing on January 10, 2022. The amendment will also include several minor changes to the agreement, including an update to the notice provision, replacement of exhibits and clarifications of several provisions.

Since the Department does not anticipate a need for these emergency occupancy rooms past March 4, 2022, the County Administrator, at the request of the Department, notified the contractor that the County will terminate the emergency occupancy agreement effective March 4, 2022.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, unsheltered County residents will not have access to additional emergency shelter services through March 4, 2022.
