RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract Amendment/Extension #25-085-5 with Bay Area Community Services, Inc., a non-profit corporation, to amend Contract #25-085-4, to increase the payment limit amount by $106,249, from $318,751 to a new payment limit not to exceed $425,000 and to extend the termination date from December 31, 2021 to January 31, 2022, to continue to operate COVID-19 housing in Richmond for homeless individuals in Contra Costa County.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This amendment will result in additional contractual service expenditures of up to $106,249 and will be funded 100% by Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

BACKGROUND:

The contractor operates COVID-19 isolation and non-isolation housing for homeless individuals at the SureStay Plus Hotel by Best Western at 915 W. Cutting Blvd. in Richmond. The contractor provides staffing twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week which includes, but is not limited to, the following services: coordinate admissions and exits, coordinate meal services, provide onsite wellness checks and ensure individuals have their basic needs met with clothes, food, and hygiene supplies.

On October 12, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #25-085-4 with Bay Area Community Services, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $318,751 to operate COVID-19 isolation housing for homeless individuals in Contra Costa County for the period from October 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021.

This amendment was processed late due to a delay in the opening of the Delta Landing (Motel 6) in Pittsburg which has additional isolation rooms for homeless individuals. Contra Costa County is experiencing an unexpected surge in COVID-19 positive cases and homeless individuals continue to need somewhere to safely isolate or face further putting themselves and the community at risk.

Approval of Amendment/Extension #25-085-5 will allow the contractor to provide additional COVID-19 housing though January 31, 2022.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the County’s homeless individuals will not receive additional housing during the COVID -19 pandemic, further putting the community at risk.
