RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Standard Agreement #29-388-59 (State #19-10412) with the California Department of Public Health, to pay County an amount not to exceed $863,405 for the County Public Health HIV Surveillance Program to implement HIV surveillance activities, for the period from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2024.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this Agreement will result in an amount not to exceed $863,405 of funding from the California Department of Public Health, for the period July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2024. No County funds are required.

BACKGROUND:

On March 28, 2017, the Board of Supervisors approved Standard Agreement #29-388-58 with the California Department of Public Health, for the County’s AIDS Programs, including testing services, surveillance, case management, prevention education, outreach, social marketing, and services to women, for the period from July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2019.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Approval of this Standard Agreement #29-388-59 will establish and enhance active and passive HIV case surveillance for the County’s HIV Surveillance Program through June 30, 2024. The Agreement includes County’s agreeing to indemnify and hold the State harmless for claims arising out of the County’s performance under the Agreement.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, County will not receive the necessary funding to support the reduction in transmission of HIV, provide case management services that will reduce hospitalization and support to HIV positive individuals to live at home or allow for compliance with State and Federal requirements for reporting of communicable disease.
