RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Agreement #28-700-28 with the California Department of Public Health (CDPH), in an amount payable to the County of up to $8,034,858, for the County’s Public Health Emergency Preparedness (PHEP) Program, including COVID-19, Pandemic Influenza, Hospital and Emergency Medical Services preparedness, for the period from July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2027.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this agreement will result in funding in an amount up to $8,034,858 from the CDPH for continuing the PHEP Program. No County match is required.

BACKGROUND:

CDPH has agreed to fund multiple PHEP Program activities including, but not limited to, the Centers for Disease Control preparedness activities, the Cities Readiness Initiative activities, State General Fund Pandemic Influenza preparedness and Hospital Emergency Preparedness Program activities, for the County’s PHEP Response Program. Contra Costa Health Services (CCHS) will utilize these funds to respond to any disease outbreaks, including COVID-19, Pandemic Influenza in Contra Costa County.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On July 18, 2017, the Board of Supervisors approved Agreement #28-700-25 with CDPH in an amount payable to the County of up to $7,029,165 for the County’s PHEP Program for the period July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2022.

On May 21, 2019, the Board of Supervisors approved Amendment Agreement #28-700-27 with CDPH to make technical adjustments to the budget with no change in the amount payable to the County of up to $7,029,165 and no change in the term.

Approval of Agreement #28-700-28 will allow the County to receive funding for the continuation of the PHEP Program, through June 30, 2027, including agreeing to indemnify and hold harmless the State for claims arising out of County’s performance of this agreement and including claims of intellectual property infringement and related claims.

The complete application package was submitted to CDPH by the May 20, 2022 deadline, however, the County did not receive the grant agreement and award until October 27, 2022. The department respectfully requests Board approval of this retroactive request.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this agreement is not approved, the County will not receive additional State funding to continue to develop and test all hazardous health emergency preparedness activities and hospital preparedness in response to any disease outbreaks in Contra Costa County.
