RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Department Director, or designee, to execute a contract with Richmond Elementary School, Inc. including modified indemnification language, in an amount not to exceed $272,640 to provide State Preschool services for the term July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The contract ($272,640) is entirely funded by State funds from the California Department of Education. (100% State)

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa County receives funds from California Department of Education to provide State Preschool services to program eligible County residents. In order to provide a wider distribution of services to County residents the Department contracts with a number of community-based organizations. 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 contract will allow the provision of childcare services for 48 children enrolled in Richmond College Prep preschool programs.

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:

This Employment & Human Services Department Community Services Bureau contract 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.
