RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment (Contract #38-062-2) with Young Men’s Christian Association of the East Bay to add 24 full-day childcare slots, to increase the payment limit by $4,663,214 to a new payment limit of $7,866,964, and to extend the term from January 31, 2023 to June 30, 2023 subject to approval by the County Administrator and approval as to form by County Counsel.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The increase of $4,663,214 is funded as follows: 14% is federally funded by U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF); 86% is State funded by California Department of Education (CDE) and California Department of Social Services (CDSS.) This amount is budgeted in FY 22-23. There is no county match. CFDA No. 93.600.

BACKGROUND:

On January 21, 2022, the Contra Costa County Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD), Community Services Bureau (CSB), issued Request for Proposal (RFP) #1184 to select a contractor to serve as a delegate agency to operate a Head Start program in East County. Additionally, State Childcare Partnership, California Department of Education (CDE) and California Department of Social Services (CDSS) funds were available through partnership with ACF funds to provide infant, toddler, and preschool child development services. Your Board approved and authorized the EHSD Director to execute a contract with Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) of the East Bay on June 21, 2022 (C.129) not to exceed $3,203,750 for the period July 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022. On December 13, 2022, your Board approved and authorized the EHSD Director to execute a no-cost extension through January 31, 2023 (C.76).

The Contra Costa County Employment and Human Services Department, Community Services Bureau currently partners with YMCA to serve 329 eligible children and their families in east Contra Costa County through the 2022-2023 childcare contract. This amendment will increase the childcare slots to 353. The increase allows YMCA to increase layering of Head Start and State child development funds in order to increase full day, full-year services to meet community need.

Additionally, this amendment is to increase the original contract of $3,203,750 by $4,663,214 to a new payment limit of $7,866,964 effective January 1, 2023 and to extend the term from January 31, 2023 to June 30, 2023. The increased payment limit reflects the increase in full-day slots and rate increase to compensate YMCA for the provision of comprehensive services pursuant to Part 1302 of the Head Start Program Performance Standards and as identified within the scope of the contract. Approval of this amendment will allow the continued provision of these services.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, 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.
