BACKGROUND:
The County approved receipt of funds from Contra Costa Childcare Council on September 18, 2008 for the Department to receive on-site observation and material support for Riverview Head Start site in its pursuit of National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) accreditation. Services to be provided at Riverview Chidlren's Center, 227 Pacifica Avenue, Bay Point, California 94553.
The Board approved a revenue agreement amendment on November 4, 2008 to add $4,950 to the agreement and to extend the term to June 30, 2009. Since that amendment, the funding agency and childcare site have agreed that additonal time is needed to complete the project. This amendment seeks to extend the term, with no change to the payment limit, so that the final scope of work may be completed and the funds fully expended.
