RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County, Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) #28-924-2 containing mutual indemnification language, with California Department of Public Health (CDPH) to allow CDPH to provide COVID-19 contact tracing, for the period from January 1, 2021 through June 30, 2021.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This is a nonfinancial agreement.

BACKGROUND:

California Governor Gavin Newsom issued a Proclamation of a State of Emergency on March 4, 2020 based on the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic; and the County proclaimed a local emergency on March 10, 2020, which was ratified by its Board of Supervisors on March 10, 2020; and those emergency declarations remain in effect based on ongoing emergency conditions relating to COVID-19.  
  


BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
On July 14, 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved MOU #28-924 with CDPH for 30 COVID-19 contact tracers, for the period June 28, 2020 through December 31, 2020. On October 13, 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved Amendment Agreement #28-924-1 which amended the MOU to increase the number of contact tracers to 50.  
  
Approval of this MOU #28-924-2 with the CDPH will assign up to 100 State employees to assist Contra Costa County with critically needed case investigation and contact tracing to contain the spread of COVID-19, through June 30, 2021. This MOU includes agreements to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other party from any claims arising out of, or in connection with, the performance of this agreement.  

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this MOU is not approved, the County will not receive additional COVID-19 contact tracers to assist with the County's prevention efforts.
