RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Administrator, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Industrial Employers and Distributor's Association (IEDA), effective March 1, 2016, to increase the payment limit by $22,588 to a new payment limit of $45,176 to continue providing In-Home Supportive Services Authority (IHSS) negotiations and support services, and to extend the term of the agreement from February 29, 2016 to February 28, 2017.

FISCAL IMPACT:

FISCAL IMPACT: (CONT'D)

The contract payment limit increase of $22,588, for services IEDA will provide during the period of March 1, 2016 through February 28, 2017, will be funded by Federal, State and County.

BACKGROUND:

The County Administrator's Office is requesting to amend and extend this contract so that the County can continue contracting with IEDA for IHSS Negotiations and Support Services. IEDA has represented Contra Costa County in labor relations matters for about 40 years and augments the County's Labor Relations staff. IEDA has long term, historical knowledge of the policies, practices and intricacies of the County and IHSS, and is instrumental in negotiations.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, IHSS and the County will lack the necessary negotiations and support services needed to negotiate with recognized employee organizations.
