RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with CoCoKids, Inc., for Early Head Start Program Enhancement services, with no change to the payment limit of $353,380 or term July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020. (100% Federal)

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract is fully funded by a Federal grant from the Administration for Children and Families (Head Start Program) (CFDA 93.600). A County match is not required.
The contract number is 38-803-7.

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa County receives funds from the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) to provide Early Head Start program services to program eligible County residents. The Department, in turn, contracts with a number of community-based organizations to provide a wider distribution of services. This board order renews a contract with CoCoKids, formerly Contra Costa Child Care Council, to provide Home-based Early Head Start service to 52 pregnant women and/or children ages birth to three years old. Services are to be administered through the contractor's licensed family child care providers to enhance the services provided in the contractor's existing full-day programs. The board approved contract execution on August 6, 2019 (c.90).

This board order is to authorize the execution of a contract amendment to clarify client demographics and to accept Special Conditions to the contract regarding Head Start funding requirements. The Special Conditions have been reviewed and approved by the Risk Management department.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, the County will not be able to more widely distribute childcare availability through partnership with community based agencies.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The Employment and 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.
