RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Little Angels Country School LLC, to increase the payment limit by $23,615.56 to a new payment limit of $230,870 for State Preschool services, with no change to term July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract is entirely State funded by the California Department of Education.

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa County receives funds from the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) to provide Head Start and Early Head Start services to program eligible County residents. Contra Costa also receives funds from the California Department of Education (CDE) to provide State Preschool services to program eligible County residents. The State requires an indemnification clause with County subcontractors wherein the subcontractor holds harmless the State and its officers for any losses.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

In order to provide a wider distribution of services to County residents, the Department subcontracts with a number of community-based organizations. Approval of this contract will allow the provision of vital preschool and childcare services to 36 program eligible children in Contra Costa County. The Board approved the contract on June 5, 2018 (c. 98). This amendment is to pass through the increased daily childcare rate as approved by the State. The amendment also includes Quality Improvement funding to be applied to classroom facility improvements.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, Contractor will not be reimbursed at the increased daily childcare rate.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The Employment & Human Services Department Community Services Bureau supports three of Contra Costa County’s community outcomes - Outcome 1: “Children Ready for and Succeeding in School,” Outcome 3: “Families that are Economically Self-sufficient,” and, Outcome 4: “Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing.” These outcomes are achieved by offering comprehensive services, including high quality early childhood education, nutrition, and health services to low-income children throughout Contra Costa County.
