RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract with First Baptist Church of Pittsburg, California, a Non-Profit Corporation of California, in an amount not to exceed $2,269,934 to provide childcare services at Fairgrounds and Lone Tree Children’s Centers for the period July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract ($2,269,934) is funded 27% by Federal revenues ($615,623) from Administration for Children and Families, with CFDA No. 93.600, and funded 73% State revenues ($1,654,311) from California Department of Education.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, County will not be able to more widely distribute childcare availability through partnership with community-based agencies.

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa County receives funds from the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) to provide Head Start and Early Head Start program enhancement services to program eligible County residents. County also receives funds from the California Department of Education (CDE) Child Development program for State Preschool and General Childcare and Development program services. The State requires an indemnification clause with County subcontractors wherein the subcontractor holds harmless the State and its officers for any losses.

Approval of this board order allows the continued provision of childcare services at Fairgrounds and Lone Tree Children’s Centers for the period July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021.

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.
